Have you built anything relatively complex with it?

#7I asked this same question about 12 months ago and we are working on reducing meetings, making them more effective, and increasing the amount of time to get in a flow state for deep work. Just wanted to share as that is where I ended up and currently playing with work analytics from the calendars on a personal and business level with a few public companies (https://execution.com/free-meeting-stats/).
Productivity is a hard one, as there are hard increases and soft ones that make people feel better which then translate into better results.

Happy to discuss more if I can be helpful - just message or find me: http://drift.me/seanlindsay

#9- 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.
