I find this incredibly useful. I work on a relatively small tech team as a lead/project manager/manager and every so often I get very busy where I only have 1-2 hours a day to do my dev work. I've also seen other devs and sysadmins collapse under a work load where they were in meetings all day every day. It can be very tough to get a schedule set where you're able to work on your top priorities, so I value these stories and techniques.

Would you be interested in trying our beta [1] once it's ready? We're working on the hypothesis that bad meeting schedules can result in a large drop in productivity, especially for software related jobs.

Our current solution is to make it easier to cordon off blocks of time and easily reschedule disruptive meetings using a mix of auto-suggested times and meeting polls.

I'll try it out, thanks :)
