It's pretty horrendous. It got to the point in the fall that I had a couple days a week on average that were 100% meetings, wall to wall. I finally went through and blocked out my lunch hour and all of Friday, shoving meetings around to crowd the rest of the week so that I could have some uninterrupted time at least once a week to catch up on all the stuff I couldn't do while sitting in meetings. Even then, I still have to make exceptions into that for last-minute meetings, although at least then it's my choice to do it.

One thing I'm trying to get better about is not attending all of the weekly/bi-weekly "let's just check in with each other" meetings. If I'm not attending I let them know so they can pull me in if needed, but otherwise I make those meetings more of the "if I'm not actively engaged in deep work, I'll be there" priority level. FOMO is real, but I'm combating it with the satisfaction of seeing servers up and code running. :)
