Makers need uninterrupted blocks of time to be productive, while managers often have their days filled with meetings.

A great maker schedule consists of long, uninterrupted periods, like an eight-hour block, to maintain focus and productivity.

The maker schedule concept can also apply to sales; scheduling longer blocks for customer interactions is more effective than short, fragmented meetings.

Paul Graham's essay "Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule" succinctly explains how makers, like programmers, organize their time differently from managers.

For solo founders, it's crucial to manage time effectively since they can't delegate tasks; a modified maker's schedule can help by allocating full days to specific types of work.

It's important to be intentional about how you chop up your schedule, balancing between meetings and creative work.

Creating uninterrupted time for deep work is crucial for productivity, especially for introverts who thrive in focused environments.

It's crucial to balance meeting time with creative work, as constant interruptions can hinder productivity and creative flow.

As a technical founder, I need to ensure my schedule allows for long, uninterrupted periods to write code effectively, so I take the first chunk of my day for meetings and then schedule no meetings in the late afternoon and evening to have six hours of uninterrupted coding time.
