Ask HN: How much of your time is spent in meetings?

When I worked at a big corp, we talked about this issue at some point.

We started literally putting up a cost clock, that ticked off the running cost of a meeting. It was surprisingly convincing and motivating for everyone, even (especially?) our external customers who were previously happy to sit and chat for hours.

That said, there's a reason I don't work at a 'big corp' anymore :)

We've discussed as a team too, cost clock sounds like an interesting idea.

So far, we've just started filing our calendar with bogus 'private meetings' so we can get stuff done. I can't see working for 'big corp' type companies forever, and I do like the experience so far -more learning about 'big corp' world.
