Meetings don’t ruin a week because they exist. They ruin a week when they’re fog—no outcome, no owner, no end. Today on Daybreak, we turn meetings into containers that protect focus and reduce fatigue.

You’ll get:

• A 60-second boundary breath (4–6–2) to steady the nervous system
  
  
  
• A research signal: higher meeting load is associated with higher daily fatigue and workload
  
  
  
• A practical filter that upgrades almost any meeting with one question
  
  
  

The Lever: before your next meeting, send one line:

“What do we need by the end—decision, plan, or update?”

If you want your calendar back without burning relational bridges, this is the move.
