E-mail can definitely become all encompassing (I'm embarassed to admit I often send off a round at 9.30pm every evening.)

However, I think a "culture of meetings" is even worse: I previously worked at a company where meetings would be scheduled back-to-back throughout the day (I'd literally "start" doing my work at 5pm when the meetings died down.)

Ultimtately we set "blackout times: no meetings before 10am, none at lunchtime, and none after 4pm. I'm curious how others have solved this issue?
