Picked up a scheduling trick at a coworking space in Portland...

I was at this coworking space in Portland last month and noticed this graphic designer always blocked out 2 hour chunks on her calendar with a label like "design time." She told me she uses those to actually focus without checking emails or Slack. I tried it for my freelance writing gigs and it bumped my output by about 30 percent. Anyone else use a hard block like that for deep work?

Did you see that guy who tried to block out his whole day and just ended up napping?
