Mechanisms¶
- Office Hours and Asynchronous Request Queue
- It is the practical answer to the clash between the maker's schedule and the manager's schedule: a maker needs long unbroken blocks, and a single "quick sync" can wreck an afternoon; office hours offer a manager-compatible slot without surrendering the day to it.
This sourceDistinguishes maker and manager schedules, explains the cost of interrupting long maker blocks, and recommends office hours as a bounded contact window.

- Protected Goal Window Schedule
- Paul Graham's distinction between the maker's schedule and the manager's schedule names why this matters: creative work needs long unbroken blocks, and a day sliced into meeting-sized units destroys them even when no single meeting is unreasonable.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Was it audited? Yes. A second, independent pass read the citation against the article text and recorded a verdict.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
