In order to find several minutes or even free hours for yourself, I recommend adhering to the 20/45 rule, the essence of which is to reduce meetings from 30 or 60 minutes to 20 or 45 minutes respectively.

"I drink about thirty cups of coffee a day. I like to work first and then eat my food. When I get hungry I get up. I have two computers in two different corners of the room. One of them is connected to the network and the other is not. When I want to spend time on the Internet I have to cross the room." Usually, this is enough for me to change my mind. " Lee Child Literature.
