1. You’ve memorized your credit card number from ordering so much delivery.
2. You don’t have to smile at strangers because you’re wearing a mask.
3. The average work meeting got 20% shorter, new research says.

You got some of your day back…

It’s true: The total amount of time we spend in meetings is down 12%. That’s despite our vicious overseers managers — the number of meetings we slog through per day is up 13%.

The average workday has stretched ~50 minutes longer. Oof.
