Unfortunately 28 meetings a week does sound normal. This was a very light week for me and I still have 15 scheduled meetings and this is with me being out all day yesterday for a mediation. I block my calendar a lot and I block all day Fridays. Fridays are my clean up days and I will only have emergency meetings on Friday.
It is a combination of saying declining certain meetings and delegating. You also need to make sure every meeting has adequate preparation, with a focused agenda. Another thing, don't be afraid to block out distraction free time on your calendar and enforce the boundaries.
Meetings are the new job responsibility. Is a difficult transition to go from minimal to dozens. I’ve got 7 meetings for Thursday and Friday this week, all of which just popped up today. Find the time for non-meeting work, blocking out, etc. but also try to know it’s the new norm.
It's just a matter of drawing the line and refusing to have meetings that are not necessary. Saying most meetings could be an email is not a joke, it's almost always true. And the meetings that do happen don't need to be marathons. Having too many meetings is a symptom of disorganized thinking and poor leadership. Tighten that up.
Dude I had 18 meetings yesterday
