Reciprocal Meeting Blocks
- For each meeting you schedule, block off reciprocal time for deep work.
- This prevents oversaturation and encourages more focused work.
Meeting Recovery Blocks
- Add 20 minutes to the end of every meeting as a "recovery block".
- This allows time to process action items and clear your mind.
Work Quotas
- Set quotas for important, recurring work tasks.
- This provides a clear reason to decline requests once the quota is met.
