Keep all your meetings next to each other

I have been constantly frustrated regarding my coding performance. Things started to change after I did some effort to relocate all of my job meetings. By keeping all of my meetings in a time block I have won in two aspects ; - I force myself to be sharp and pay more attention to accomplish the meeting quickly - I clear half of my day to code without interruptions. With this increased focus the results have been awesome

Nice idea! I've found batching meetings helps my productivity too. To manage overruns, I block 15 min buffers between meetings. Worst case an overrun eats into the next meeting's buffer vs. my focus time. I also have a hard stop and politely end meetings that hit the scheduled end time.

Absolutely, I do the same! Consolidating meetings saves so much mental energy. No more jumping back and forth between focused work and discussions. Another tip - leave buffer time before and after meeting blocks to review notes and prep. Game changer for productivity and keeping a sane schedule!

This strategy is a helpful. By grouping my meetings, I get to fully focus on coding afterward, and the quality of my work has improved significantly.

@parker_oliver You said it all! Without interruptions, the focus is intensified, and so does the quality of the tasks.

For me, clustering meetings into one part of the day has improved my workflow significantly. it reduces the mental load and lets me dive into tasks without constant interruptions.
