Group meetings together and find time for deep work

Every time we switch context, it takes us way longer to finish a task at hand. Aerotime creates space for deep work by stacking your meetings together & enables you to prioritize your most important tasks, in flow. Done across team, it saves even more hours.

Been using this for a while now and have found the service to be incredibly useful. If deep work matters to you and your team then try Aerotime out. @piyush_narwani - what other new features can we expect over the next couple of months?

@baboonzero Thanks for the trust, Anshumani. Top two features to look out for: 1) We are bringing integrations with Jira and other tools to actually track productivity improvements and see what are the key reasons it suffers. You can't fix what you can't track. 2) We are building something that will cut down meetings overload. Yes, it is primarily driven by culture but nudges and key data points if used the right way can drive culture change as well :)

@piyush_narwani @baboonzero I'm glad for integrations. The focus time is already a great feature for me.

Thanks for hunting Aerotime, @mwseibel. Hey PH community 👋 Hope everyone's doing good out there. **OUR STORY** We started building Aerotime when we realized that we were not able to do anything important during work hours and "real work" was forced after 5 pm. My day as a product manager was going from one meeting to another. It’s not like there were a ton of meetings, just that they were spread out across the day creating these 30 min to 1 hour free time in between where no deep work was really possible. At the end of the day, I felt that nothing important was getting done. I saw myself writing PRDs and strategy docs post work hours just to catch-up. Urgent was taking over important. @goeldhru resonated with this problem even as an engineer at Amazon who didn't have a lot of meetings. Why? He was constantly distracted by trivial interruptions (a ping that didn’t need an instant response). This context switching made it hard for him to “zone in” on his work, causing him to code after work hours. Trivial interruptions were breaking the flow state. **WHY WE NEED AEROTIME** Our work life has become immensely better with tools that enable super fast collaboration - something we definitely need for teams to come together and succeed. But at the same time, it is also leading to loss of creative energy that is highly needed for tasks like writing code, designing, strategizing etc. We believe best of both worlds is possible! While our brains have an amazing ability to switch context, it leads to a 40% drop in productive time (ping me if you're interested in research around it). Loss in productive time -> Long working hours (or delays in projects) -> Burnout and unhappiness. Time to fix it. **HOW AEROTIME WORKS** Create Space: At the root, Aerotime tries to minimize context switches. We do this by clubbing similar meetings together, which creates large chunks of time available for deep work within working hours. Prioritize: On the space created, we help you visualize and prioritize your tasks by bringing them on calendar as time blocks. Commit: To make sure you commit to the task in hand - which is called being in flow: - We snooze Slack notifications during that time curbing external distractions - We give you focus music options that help in curbing internal distractions Track: Analytics on time fragmentation, burn out and other flow metrics to help you retrospect and improve. **REQUEST FROM PH COMMUNITY** We're only 8 weeks old, so we request you to try out the product, give us feedback which will help us shape the product in the right direction. Together, let's be effective and not just busy. 💪 Join the waitlist, we open up seats every 7 days and personally onboard our users to make sure they are setup for success. For PH community, it is 2 weeks free trial and then 20% off for 1 year.

Does this rearrange meetings for all of the others involved at the same time, say 15 people (which is perhaps what my calendar looks like)? Once you start traversing that graph, I have to imagine that it starts to get a bit complicated in trying to arrange the calendars for even more. I see the value in creating blocks of time (one could create a company culture around this), but how well does this work when you have a company of more than a couple of people's calendars to update?

@akiarora That's a great question, Akshay. And yes, you're right, it does get complicated to solve when more people come onboard. The algo takes longer to run but the results are exponentially better because we can move a lot more meetings to perfect times. This happens because of increased calendar visibility and the ability to actually move the meeting. Just creating blocks of time doesn't work because they tend to get overridden or there is no place to add them in the first place. The workload is not going down, we just have to figure out a way to structure it in such a way that minimizes context switches and these dead blocks (30 min between different meetings where nothing important gets done). Hope it answered your question?

We're big believers in async work at Kitemaker and having big blocks of time for deep work is crucial for this. I think Aerotime is really onto something here. Especially people working in management in big organizations need to try it out 😁

@ksimons Completely agreed on deep work time. I also wanna call out, people continue to try and improve their work ethics but sometimes we need to fix systems around us for faster and better results. :D
