not a new or unique phenomenon but genuinely asking how to manage a heavy workload while also attending upwards of 6 hours of meetings a day? multitasking affects my quality of work but if i don’t then im left with zero time to actually do what’s on my plate (i already skip lunch and i refuse to work past 6 and let the burn out affect my mental health & relationships). please drop tips :( and don’t tell me to suck it up, i work hard and deserve balance. thank you!

It sounds like you need to just skip meetings that are not mission critical. Push back on unrealistic timelines. Also block work time on your calendar.

Yeah it’s hard but you need to be honest and stay stuff like “I’m slammed with x project, can’t attend this meeting unless it’s critical”

Or, if you have project managers at your place discuss it with them and let them know what you need - good ones will help run interference for you with the teams and keep your calendar manageable.

Also, don’t skip lunch!
