I find that having even one meeting pretty much ruins my whole day. Before the meeting, I find it hard to get into a real flow state because I know the meeting is coming up and I'll have to stop. After the meeting, I feel like the day has already been destroyed so I typically spend the rest of the day surfing and reading HN. Meetings first thing in the morning or at the end of the day are better in that regard.
