How to Get Through Back-to-Back Meetings Without a Coffee Run

Six meetings, no gaps, and the kitchen is on the other side of the building. By meeting four you're running on nothing and there's no window to fix it.

Back-to-back calendars are one of the more common complaints about office and remote work — there's rarely five free minutes, let alone enough time to make or buy a coffee between calls.

A few things help: blocking 5–10 minutes between meetings where you can (even if it means pushing back on the calendar), keeping water at your desk since dehydration alone can feel a lot like tiredness, and having something you can have at your desk between calls without leaving the room.

That's the gap Neuchu fills for a lot of people stuck in back-to-back calendars — 50mg of caffeine, no kettle, no queue. You can find it here.
