Unpopular opinion: I realized I was wasting 15 hours a week on useless meetings after my kid asked why I was always on the computer.

My 6 year old pointed at my screen during a Friday afternoon Zoom and said 'you just talk, you don't make anything', and that was the moment I saw my calendar was full of performative work that added zero value to my actual job.

Kids really do cut right to the truth, don't they? That's a huge chunk of time to spend on things that don't matter. Makes you wonder what we're all actually doing.

Your kid's six year old honesty is brutal but is 15 hours really that much in a full work week?

It adds up fast with meetings and emails.
