I don’t know about you guys, but I can’t really keep a sustained bust going for 8 hours anyway. Even if I had no meetings at all, I have to stop for the restroom, tea, food, or even just to give my body a break.

IME, non-intellectual breaks don't break flow the same way as meetings where you need to use, but shift, intellectual focus. Bathroom, short-walk, and coffee/tea/snack breaks, aside from filling important bodily functions that don’t get filled by meetings, provide a pause that seems somewhat akin to a rest between sets in physical exercise.
