The problem it solves

You know meetings are eating into your week, but you never actually add up the hours to see how bad it is. Without a clear number in front of you, it's hard to make the case for cutting back or protecting focus time.

Who it fits

Managers or team leads who want a regular gut check on how much of the week is going to meetings.

How it works

  1. Every week, the system checks your Google Calendar for the past week's events.
  2. It adds up the total time spent in meetings.
  3. A text message with the weekly total is sent to your phone.
What you get

Meeting time you see every week

Every week you get a text showing exactly how many hours went to meetings, straight from your calendar.

What you get

A weekly text message showing your total meeting hours for the week.

What you need

A Google Calendar account and a Twilio account for text messages.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
