I found this article by Paul Graham about maker’s schedule vs. Manager’s schedule.
Most powerful people are on the manager’s schedule. It’s the schedule of command. But there’s another way of using time that’s common among people who make things, like programmers and writers. They generally prefer to use time in units of half a day at least. You can’t write or program well in units of an hour. That’s barely enough time to get started.
It’s a good read, and I found a lot of good points especially from the maker’s side of things.
Mostly he talks from the angle of meetings, but for me this goes for any type of interruption. Conference calls, emails, IMs, tweets, text messages, letter, anything.
Anyway, it’s a good reference, especially if you’ve called me and I’ve seemed a bit distracted on the phone ;)
