Same with work calls, I always schedule for the morning otherwise it just hangs over the whole day

What about just having 7 calls a day? No time to panic about the afternoon calls when you're on the morning calls.

This is the way 🤣. 40+ meetings a week

Do you ever work or just talk about working?

No shade, this is also me

I actually got some work done today. Yes, it’s Saturday. Ugh.

Haha we actually do get a lot accomplished when we buckle down. The problem I've found is it takes 2+ weeks to get VPs on the same page at every step. Also, frequent work before 9am, after 4pm to do slides, respond to emails etc

That slows momentum to a crawl. My experience at fortune top 25+ lol.

Lol I have like 3-7 meetings a day and I always say this. "Are we ever going to work or are we just going to talk about it?"

The secret is to make them post lunch. Lunch interrupts your flow anyway so your mornings can be the same as always. Afternoons have that energy slump where nothing useful happens anyway, so why not waste time on those pointless meetings?

The worst is having a job interview at 11 am or 2 pm. Now I have to take off the whole morning or afternoon to do a 30 minute interview.

u/PreviouslyWise Sep 13 '26

What did they even ask in a 10 minute interview? I feel like 30 isn’t enough time to cover everything, 10 is just crazy.
