It's 9pm. My wife asked when I'd be done three hours ago.
I had 10 meetings today.
Again.
The actual work from my to-do list?
Just getting started.
Meeting culture steals our time at work.
Then follows us home and steals the rest.
The Meeting Crisis
We're done pretending this is normal.
The Cost of Broken Meetings
The Root Cause
Video platforms removed all natural meeting friction.
Five years ago, meetings had built-in constraints.
You had to walk to the conference room, physical spaces were limited, and travel time created natural buffers.
Video meetings eliminated all of that.
Scheduling became instant.
Calendars became infinite.
Back-to-backs became normal.
The system now treats human attention like it's limitless.
It's not.
This is broken design, not broken people.
