Calendar Blocking can boost developer productivity in Quarantine

I prefer having an unbounded provision of time for anything I'm working on. Ideally I'd minimize the amount of context-switches (ie blocks) in general. I'd rather get to some sort of finish line for what I'm doing rather than leave things half-baked and lose the build up of context / energy

To be honest you can remove in Quarantine from the title.

I have a standing fake meeting &quot;Busy&quot; at around the lunch time every day. It&#x27;s purpose to show me as busy and deter folks from dropping meetings at inconvenient time.<p>When I&#x27;m pressed for time, I&#x27;m changing it to whole-day &quot;Out-of-office&quot; fake (I&#x27;m in the office, obviously).<p>Very effective tool!

I’ve tried this and it didn’t work for me. I would always have anxiety about the end time and if I got to where I wanted to be. Without the bounded time I can work till I like where I’m at.

This is bottom of the barrel content even for inbound marketing pieces.
