Staggered calendar approach to reduce multi-tasking?

    Hello!

    I'm intrigued by this concept of a staggered calendar, as suggested here by a tech CEO. It certainly would create more efficiency in a traditional business setting. I wonder if or how this could be applied for those of us who work in more complex settings whose time is not only filled with independent work, team meetings, and one-on-ones, but also teaching, patient care, etc.

    Has anyone adopted something like this? If so, have you used a calendaring or project management tool that helps you sustain this?

    Thanks!
    Julie
