Meeting overload can quickly destroy productivity. Start by evaluating whether each meeting is necessary or can be replaced with async communication. Encourage written updates, shared dashboards, and clear documentation. Protect deep work time by blocking focus hours in your calendar. Teams that reduce meeting overload gain more time for meaningful work and better results.
