I usually spend less than 15m on meetings, best part about my org. I use GUI tools to a minimum and leverage terminal and cli tools like grep jq curl parallel. I have a tons of alias (half of them are git) to reduce the amount of work and probably make a script for anything which takes me more than 2m to do (if possible ofc).

I keep my mobile device in separate room while I work to avoid any kind of distractions. Thats my recipe to a productive day, curious about yours.

BTW I work remotely
