I don't know whether this is related: apart from managing what to do in what order I think there are also different types of quality that a certain time slice in a day can have. There's

• daily standup time
• not so interesting but somehow important meeting time
• coffee break time
• brainstorming something before the whiteboard with somebody else time
• trying to get things done but being constantly interrupted by others time
• isolating myself from the rest of the team to actually get focus time to get things done time
• etc.

Each of these time types has different advantages and disadvantages to myself and to the team. So I need to have a good mix of them in order to maximize overall productivity. I guess this is also covered in some of the techniques, but I don't really know because I have not studied any of them. So I'm looking forward to the article.

Thanks for your input @adiherzog

I'll certainly cover the topic of focus and interuptions. Hope to be able to cover some of your other aspects as well.
