I am supposed to be at an all day productivity training session today at work. But I have some other urgent stuff so I left.

The best advice I have heard on meetings and productivity recently is from Elon Musk. He famously has said:

It takes a bit of bravery to do it. But you feel better afterwards, and you end up getting more real work done.
