I lead the LessWrong team within Lightcone (the “other” team) and I care a lot about protecting deep work time from interruptions. Though in practice due to the structure of the team (3 of us, usually 2 out 3 pairing), there’s not that much blocking arising. As team lead, I’m the one moost likely to be a blocker and I end up kind of in the pattern you describe of doing deep work outside of regular hours so I’m available during.
I’m not sure if there’s a better way if you’re trying to get a lot done.
