Be proactive by communicating your schedule as well. For example: an out of office auto reply or a signature for the bottom of your emails will let people know when you will be out of office.

Like previously stated, people tend to be out of office more often in the summer. With that being said, the frequency of normal meetings might drop a bit. Take this time to learn and grow as an employee.
PLAN FOR INDIVIDUAL
TALENT DEVELOPMENT
Between the beautiful weather and sunshine, you probably would rather be outside, causing you to get distracted and have to finish some work at home. Choose a few projects and complete them, then plan out the remainder of your projects - this way you’ll be on the right track.
MANAGE YOUR EXPECTATIONSOUTSIDE OF WORK
Relax. It’s summer. Give yourself a little break by allowing more time to complete projects.
GIVE YOURSELF MORE TIME
TO COMPLETE PROJECTS
Try getting to work 30-60 minutes earlier than normal so you can free some time up while the sun is still shining.
GET TO WORK EARLY
Everyone needs some “you” time. Plan a day trip, engage in a hobby, sleep, etc. Do something that makes you happy and you’ll be surprised how much more productive you feel.
