What is Collective Focus Time?
- Company-wide focus events on Tuesday and Thursday from 9:30 to 11:30 CET
- No internal meetings
- Non-urgent communication (Slack, email etc.) is encouraged to be scheduled or postponed
- Use phones for business critical, urgent issues
🤫 Why do we synchronize focus time?
- Enhanced productivity: By reducing interruptions, we can engage more deeply with our tasks, leading to swifter completion times and higher-quality outputs.
- Improved well-being: Regular, undisturbed work periods help in reducing stress, prevent burnout, and foster a culture that values individual time and contribution.
- Ease scheduling: By synchronising focus times, scheduling meetings and prioritizing tasks becomes more straightforward, benefiting the entire team.
- Commitment to deep work: Having these designated focus periods collectively increases the likelihood that we can all genuinely commit to and benefit from uninterrupted focus time.
