Scenario

When team time blocking creates collaboration conflicts

Our team adopted time blocking but everyone's protecting their blocked time so fiercely that we can't schedule collaborative work and our manager keeps overriding people's blocks for 'urgent' meetings. Half the team has given up on blocking entirely and the other half is getting resentful that their boundaries aren't being respected.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Individual productivity practices are colliding with collective needs, revealing the tension between personal agency and shared accountability.
