Thank you.

The Wednesday one rings true. I always have an absurd number of conflicts on Wednesday.

The title is not what it shows, that meetings are booked more on Monday 11am doesn't mean that people prefer or are more likely to show up. I guess they don't have data on attendance, only on booking.

I was confused by that terminology at first, too, but it appears their product has an "offer" phase where the meeting organizer suggests multiple times, and a "book" phase in which the invitees accept the meeting and it's booked. Which doesn't necessarily mean that the meeting is attended, but it is a higher level of confirmation/buy-in from the invitees than what happens at my work (FANG) where organizers just throw meetings on everyone's calendar.

> The best time to schedule a meeting is at 11am Monday morning.

I always curse people who schedule meetings first thing in the workday, last thing in the workday, or immediately adjacent to lunch time. If the meeting is an hour long, I'll avoid attending an 11am meeting if I possible can.

Leaving, what, 10am and 2pm?

No, there doesn't have to be a huge buffer. If the meeting is, say, an hour long and the workday is 8-5 with a lunch at noon, then meetings can start 8:30-10:30 and 1:30-3:30.

1 hour meetings that start at any time other the top of the hour (x:00) are the absolute worst.

Meetings that are adjacent to lunch are fair game. They just need to start/end on time.

Well, it can work, of course. I often have meetings scheduled like that. I hate it, though, because it means that I either have to cut lunch short or skip it altogether. A meeting may start and end at a set time, but I'll still need 10-15 minutes before the meeting to prepare, and sometimes 10-15 minutes after the meeting to perform action items that can't wait (such as updating my task list, my work notes, etc.)

(Lest people think that I value lunch too much, in nearly every place I've worked, taking lunch was required by management. If it weren't, I'd always skip lunch so that I could have an 8 hour long instead workday of 9)

Nahh, 10am clashes with morning tea and 2pm with afternoon tea.
