Schedule personal meetings with yourself on your calendar that aren't any different from ones with teams and others. This is time to get stuff done. Just like a meeting with your boss, a report, or a team it is not to be interrupted unless someone is crying or dying. Set boundaries, set expectations, stick to them.
- leetcrew 7y agosome people just walk up to your desk/office without checking the calendar to see if you're in a meeting. I'd guess this behavior correlates pretty well with not sending a quick slack message to see if you have time to talk.
- time0ut 7y agoI did this for a long time. I had random looking recurring meetings on my calendar called things like "Backlog Grooming" and "JIRA Ticket XYZ-1923". It cut down on the bullshit meetings for a while, but people eventually figured it out and scheduled on top of it. It also did nothing to stop the people who just walk up and demand attention.
