Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Op must live in a very different works from me. I have project meetings all the time, and they're very productive, with no overlap in subjects. On average, I have 16 hrs of meetings a week - there's simply no way to have them in one day, nevermind trying to force everyone else onto my schedule. And I'm a technical person - it's just that my input is needed on several project teams.
But it's still good general advice - ensure that the meetings you do have are required and run well.
I'm in management. I couldn't even give all my direct reports enough time if I tried to consolidate it down to one day, let alone partners, vendors, stakeholders, etc. Then add in all the project meetings, working sessions, etc ...
16 hours is fine if the job is doing meetings, it just doesn't leave time for the deep work principle.
But generally this image reads like some take ice baths to succeed type memes.
I think they meant the general meetings that are held everyday without a clear agenda just for the sake of having those meetings. These exist unfortunately and while it makes sense to get the team together every so often, this can easily be done in a slightly longer, weekly meeting.
I know what I'm talking about because I'm suffering from these dumb daily meetings. They're unproductive as shit and they mess with my schedules. Do this once a week and have the boss update the agenda every time. And for the love of all that is good, someone please take notes. If there's no protocol, then nothing of value was created.
