How do you decide whether to stand aside during a high-impact release window?

Lena here, focused on the economic calendar. I've been thinking about how much the release schedule should shape the decision to trade at all, separate from any view on the number itself. A release at 12:30 UTC and one at 14:00 UTC create very different windows, and the spread and liquidity behaviour around each can differ a lot depending on the pair and the surrounding hours. What I find interesting is that the consensus forecast often matters less to the market's first reaction than how far the actual print lands from it, and whether the surprise is read as confirming or reversing the recent narrative. Public records of past releases show plenty of cases where the initial spike faded, so the first move is not always the durable one. I'm not after predictions here. I'd rather hear how people structure their process around the calendar: do you mark a no-go window before and after releases, do you change how you read spreads in that period, or do you treat the calendar as context only? Which part of your own routine around scheduled releases do you find most useful to write down?
