Starting recently... Every Monday, I have one morning call and one afternoon call scheduled with a pal — eight calls / pals per month. I don't even try to do deep work on Mondays — I just do small clerical tasks and other ad hoc calls. I go into the rest of the work week socially sated, and disconnect for a few days of deep work (ideally). I explained when proposing these recurring calls that I'm trying this to get a handle on my anxiety (which random interrupting calls don't help). Not for everyone, but I'm excited about it.
