- no meetings/standups in the morning

- no email/slack/phones in the morning

Try to create an environment where people can work 3-4h without stupid interruptions and do some deep work.

That is how I would run my dev company if I had one ;)



This is a great point. My most productive hours in the early morning last about as long as I can resist looking at slack.


> no meetings/standups in the morning

Would you have standups in the afternoon or are you completely against them?


Personally, I don't like daily standups. Having worked in two companies which implemented them, I could not see any benefits.

Maybe there is value if implemented better. I don't have enough experience to make a final decision about that.
