My co-founder and I divide our days: before lunch, we take meetings, user interviews, feedback sessions, respond to emails, and tickets. Essentially shallow or synchronous work.
After lunch, we go heads down on coding, design, or writing work. Deep or async work.
This system allows us to always have daily feedback on our product but also uninterrupted time to change the product, every day.
You have to time-box the sync/shallow work, enough to get a good loop in but it's okay if certain things get pushed a day or so. You always have to make space for the deep work.
