@nyhan Even when I had an office to focus in, I didn't have 19 hours of focus time.

I had easily 19 hours of meetings a week in other rooms, though. I'm pretty sure I was averaging at least 20 minutes a day just walking between meetings. (Meetings routinely started five minutes late to accommodate transit time for people coming from other meetings.)

And to be fair, at least three of those weekly meetings were technically the kind where you meet to get work done rather than the kind where you meet to exchange information about what work has gotten done and where you need support.
