Cool, I don’t have meetings at my day job and I’m on the phone helping people through my entire day. If I worked for only three hours I might get sacked.

I don’t know who this person is, but I’m not sure they have a job.

There is no way that 99% of meetings are a waste of time. Like, many 70%, tops.

Depends on the organization.

It's simply wrong, made up. No need to defend it, there are no specifications that it only applies to work group X in company Y.

There's also no way I can avoid meetings before 2pm, timezones exist and sometimes things are on fire. If I leave someone hanging because I care only about my own day, then I'm the asshole.

The waiting 90 min for caffeine part is actually based on decent scientific evidence, but it's so damn hard.

Apparently the logic behind is that sleep neurotransmitters take a while to flush out in the morning, but drinking caffeine stops the flushing process and leaves you with leftover ones in your system. So as soon as the coffee wears off, you're way more likely to really crash.

I've tried to implement that habit, but ended up falling asleep at my work desk basically every day 🤷 (Although my doctor also says he's about 80% sure I have Narcolepsy, so that might have something to do with that)

Can you cite a study?

It seems like a very common misconception that is maybe somewhat correlated, but causality hasn't been found as far as I could find. Probably one of those things that are hawked by "wellness influencers" and "hack your life" youtubers without actual evidence.

Be careful about what you take away from influencers like Huberman etc. They are businesses first and foremost, and while their business may involve giving good advice, they're ultimately driven by views which can lead them to exaggerate and overrepresent evidence for the sake of having new, compelling content.

Get a prescription for Modafinil.

Get out of here with your facts. I'll imbibe caffeine whenever the hell I want.

Just fuckin' around, no ill intent.

I can do step 1 without waking up, so I would take that extra time to continue connecting with myself while sleeping. Also, caffeine takes 20-30 mins to kick in, so they're actually waiting close to 2 hours to cue themselves into "work mode".

mourning

This is a sense of grief or loss, usually over the deceased.

emails

This is a conjugated verb. Like 'traffic', the noun should NEVER get an S; no matter how much Felicia says, for the same reason 'cattles' is wrong.

Learn to spell when you're going to ink it in. Respect the medium and its lack of an 'undo' feature.
