For sure this will burn you at work eventually if you use it. That said, if you need this, maybe you need to actually brush up your CV and find a job that doesn't destroy your productivity with meetings :)

I respond to all meeting invited as tentative as I have no clue if I’ll get scheduled pulled into a different meeting at the same time.

Is there such a job where you’re not inundated by meetings?

Any job where at least some of the work you do is so important that no one can justifiably tell you not to do it for any reason except to fire you. There are a variety of professional services fields where this is the case. IDK about the software world.

I know a couple guys working as quants on trading desks that never ever get bothered between market open and market close. The downside is that they can’t get lunch or anything, but the tradeoff is probably worth it. Research quants on the otherhand get bothered constantly.
