Design Interrupted: Design-time Versus Meeting-time - Adaptive Path
An article I read a while back caused me to reflect on how we scheduled meetings at Adaptive Path and how that might affect my colleagues’ ability to achieve quality design work. In the article, Y-Combinator advisor Paul Graham, describes the differences between a “maker’s schedule” and a “manager’s schedule”.
Essentially, Graham describes a “manager’s schedule” as hour-based and centered around switching tasks. Your calendar rules your day. He says “when you use time that way, it’s merely a practical problem to meet with someone. Find an open slot in your schedule, book them, and you’re done.”
