One Meeting Consumes The Morning

Description

The meme text says "Anyone who ever schedules meetings with developers, please burn this image into your brain, thanks." Below it is a calendar view from 9am to 12pm with three colored blocks: "9:45 - 10:30 Don't want to get into anything because meeting is coming," "10:30 - 'Super Quick' Meeting," and "11 - 11:45 Ramping back up after being distracted by meeting." The image explains how a nominally short meeting destroys a much larger block of engineering focus through anticipation, interruption, and post-meeting context restoration.
