Balancing meetings and actual work
What is everyone’s split between meetings and productive work? I’m wondering if this is a cultural / firm specific thing or something common in the industry.
I’m spending most of my day in meetings, then getting my work done (materials, modeling, writing memos) after 5pm when my calendar frees up. I usually come in early to catch up on emails before spending the rest of the day on consecutive calls, with sometimes 30 minute gaps in between which are tough to utilize.
How are you all managing this split and how much time are you spending on zoom calls?
Either don’t join the meetings or join in and focus on doing your work. Nothing’s worse than attending pointless meetings thinking you’re doing meaningful work and have nothing but crap to show at the end of day
I am in the same boat. I try to (i) start work early so that I can focus on doing actual work and (ii) block my calendar for doing work, (iii) skip pointless meetings.
Sometimes, you will just catch up and work at night and it's nature of the work but the above helped me.
Similar boat, depending on day/week entire day can be sucked by calls until 5. Usually check out for a lot of them and continue to grind if I'm not expected to be actively engaged/taking notes though.
