Not really what he's talking about but one thing that has been great for me: no morning meetings. My team has coordinated it so we spend mornings working independently on the most important things we need to get done. Only the afternoon is open for meetings. In those meetings we often identify things that we will each work on independently the next morning. This better planning leads to more focus and the reduction in distractions leads to more productivity. Emergencies are exceptions, but it's amazing how rare those can be if everyone has a decent amount of time to handle their most important things every day. Also, many people are not well organized and this small amount of organization makes a massive difference.
