All day. It’s planning season.

I finish one deck and while it’s being presented, I’m already working on the next 🥲

I actually ran the numbers last year. In the early months of the pandemic my meeting time tripled. By around this time last year (when I was still 100% WFH) it was running at between 20-100% more each month than I'd logged in the same respective months of 2017-2019.

A year later, it still feels higher than in-office, but equally now when I do go into the office I often have meetings for a fair chunk of the day, so my in-office days don't reflect the rest of the week that well.

does it spark joy?
