Definitely, we are fully remote team at Gossip with people in Russia, US and EU - we try to stick to 3 meetings per week and do the rest async or 1-1 calls if needed.

Every time you create a meeting, there should be a Google Calendar integration pop-up that says:
- "Are you sure that can't be a long slack message or email?"
- "FYI, given the monthly salary of the people invited, this 2hour meeting cost $12,000"
- "Are you really really sure you want to proceed?"
I think so. Instead increasing short conversation among coworkers is beneficial.
Our meetings usually last 30 minutes with 12 people. Too many meetings with long hours are not effective. A person usually can only remember 3 things after meeting in my opinion
sometimes sitting on a meeting I think (why am I here?)
Definitely, because of context-switching and cognitive load required.
That's why I theme my days and have meetings day, deep-work days etc.
