The stages of calendar gnarlyness:<p>* Fresh: a few one-on-ones and a team meeting (only found with new employees)<p>* Filling: handful of recurring meeting and more team communications / sync<p>* "Stand-Up Square": 30 minute free blocks don't exist anymore. RIP.<p>* "Director's Dilemma": So many people to sync up. Do thinking work after hours.<p>* Utter Bankruptcy: better luck meeting with the president. Emergency meetings only.<p>* Surrender: Nuke the meetings. Start at Fresh.
