What works for me is a rhythmic schedule but that concentrates all shallow things in the morning and deep work in the afternoon. I'm also more productive in the afternoon evening, so depending on your inclinations the opposite may work, deep work in the morning and shallow the rest of the day. The challenge is scheduling calls in the morning only.

Same in essence but I prefer the opposite: all deep work done between 08:00 and 13:00 then whatever.

I agree that scheduling regular time to focus is important. I try to start early and do most of my work in the morning when many people are not active. That helps avoid meetings and interruptions.

where I work it's the oppostie, the morning is usually more active. Also I'm a night owl
