The Meeting Length Experiment That Saved Two Hours a Week

Lucas and Luna explore a radical meeting restructuring experiment at a mid-sized consulting firm that cut all internal meetings to 25 minutes by default. They break down the data: a 28 percent reduction in total meeting time, a 12 percent increase in reported deep work hours, and the surprising reason why shorter meetings actually improved decision quality. The episode walks through the exact protocol the company used, including the mandatory five-minute pre-read rule and the standing-only policy for late arrivals. Luna pushes back on whether this scales to creative teams, and Lucas shares a simple calendar audit listeners can run this week. No abstract advice — just a specific case with learnable tactics. #MeetingLengthExperiment #25MinuteMeetings #DeepWork #CalendarAudit #MeetingCulture #TimeManagement #Efficiency #Productivity #ConsultingFirm #DecisionQuality #StandingMeetings #PreReadRule #WorkBoundaries #CareerOverload #Careers #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WorkLifeBalance Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
