> More than 4 hours of that in a day and I'm ruined

That is quite impressive and probably better than average for an engineer.

If I have a 1 hour meeting at 1pm, I’ll be fried for the rest of the day. It’s a weakness for sure, but I don’t think there’s anything I can do about it other than work for companies that have minimal meetings. Companies with established meeting cultures will do anything except reduce the number of meetings you need to attend.
