Ensuring you have enough focus time as a software engineer is critical. Since I’m a morning person, I block out 8-10 am on my calendar every day and try to schedule everything for 11 or later as much as possible. This gives me a solid 2-3 hour focus time block every morning to get work done. " "" "Depending on what you are working on, you may need more or less focus time. Just getting into the habit of blocking it out on my calendar (you can do so automatically with repeating blocks!) has helped ensure I have enough time to focus."

Especially if only on special occasions, you can always skip some meetings to have a full day to focus on a gnarly problem. Better than that, though, is for your whole team to have a no-meeting day! #bendevtip
