My personal accidental variation on pomodoro - all those meetings I have to attend generate work, and interfere with my schedule. I always schedule time in my calendar for dealing with stuff from meetings.
So if I have a 1 hr meeting at 10a, I'll add 30 minutes to it in my calendar (generally I only need 10 or 15 min). I'll also schedule time in my calendar for work that needs doing, mostly to block time so meetings won't eat up my day.
Sometimes those blocks are for specific tasks (e.g. Something that came out of a meeting) or just a general block so I can do some work between meetings.
No one needs to know why a specific time isn't available in my calendar (no one has ever asked, and if they did, I'd say "I don't know, I'd have to look" or tell the truth that it's to work on something specific). Who could argue with that?
