Meetings significantly disrupt productivity, especially for developers and individuals with ADHD. The time lost during meetings leads to a challenging transition back to ongoing tasks.

Implementing strategies to minimize midday meeting bookings can enhance workflow and maintain developer momentum throughout the day.
