A lesson pulled from [[The One Thing (book)]] - you should recognize the difference between two buckets of work. 1. **Maker time** - requiring large, uninterrupted blocks of time to *do the work* - These are viewed as **half-day increments** - e.g. - writing code, building things, authoring or editing drafts, execute projects 2. **Manager time** - handling [[Overhead]] - These are typically 1-hour increments - e.g. - Scheduling things, statusing things, reviewing things, handling communications beyond the core team working your big project Don't switch between these two buckets of work - avoid [[Context Loading]]. The book credits one of the founders of Y Combinator, Paul Graham, for come up with this argument. **** # More ## Source - [[The One Thing (book)]]
