The hidden costs of meetings
How many countless hours do you spend a week in meetings?
I’ve had months where the meeting marathons would run for 25+ hours a week.
The cost of meetings is more than just monetary…
🤯 The True Cost of Your Meetings Might Shock You
Let's do some quick math on those "just 15 meetings" you had this week:
• 15 hours × Average salary of $50/hour = $750
• × 5 team members per meeting = $3,750
• × 48 working weeks = $180,000/year
But that's just the surface cost. Factor in:
💸 Lost Revenue
- Delayed responses
- Missed sales opportunities
- Postponed project launches
⚡ Productivity Drain
- Context switching (takes 23 minutes to refocus)
- Meeting prep time
- Follow-up tasks
🧠 Mental Impact
- Decision fatigue
- Creative blocks
- Zoom fatigue
