How do you balance between meetings and deep work?

by•

I've found the blocking certain times in my calendar for focused work is the best way. I silence the notifications on my phone, laptop and use the Focus mode on Windows to focus on whatever it is I'm working on. What techniques, tools do you use?

Do not be afraid to ask clients to reschedule in a polite way. While they might not always agree, it won't hurt to ask.

If I can I try to make my meetings back to back, and even better if they're mostly on the same day or two of the week

Thanks @entreeden! Even I try to schedule my meetings back to back so that I get some uninterrupted time for the rest of the day

Time & Day blocking. Set a specific hours on certain days and finish up all your meetings then. The rest can be used for deep work :)
