Research by Selin Malkoc finds that upcoming meetings hinder progress and stop you from being productive.

Research by Selin Malkoc and her colleagues found, in a series of eight tests, that time seems shorter to people when it comes immediately before a scheduled task or appointment. Therefore when we have a meeting booked in our diary, we’re inclined to do less work and fill the time prior to the meeting with minor tasks, rather than knuckle down and complete something productive.
