You’ve got to put some constraints on the calendar

Notifications and time. There are two versions that I'm seeing, and they're almost equally bad. - Brian Elliott

One is your classic meetings-driven culture. You don't jam every hour full of meetings, but the day turns into Swiss cheese. The equally bad and insidious one is companies that have done too much of the free-for-all. Core collaboration hours and time zone-banded teams are really important. - Brian Elliott

Either way, you’ve got to put some constraints on the calendar as a starting point. - Brian Elliott

---

Mutually agreed core collaboration hours
During those hours, available for meetings, chats, notifications on, etc.

Outside those hours, notifications off, heads down, get s#!+ done.

It's all documented in the Team Level Agreement
Don't have a team level agreement?
