This. 100x this.
At my company I've been on a crusade to get meetings to start at :05 or :35. We already used Google's "speedy meetings" but that works by _ending_ meetings early. The problem is that never works. People aren't diligent enough to actually stop early. But no one will start a meeting before its scheduled time. And if people do join early, they can socialize and build social connections for a few minutes.
Having those extra 5 minutes between meetings is not only important mentally, but physically too! You can get water, stretch, hit the lou, or for those of us back in the office, walk between rooms.
The main downside is that it takes a few extra clicks whenever you create a meeting. But it's worth it.
The late start is slowly catching on. I recommend trying it!
I wish Google would fix their speedy meetings to support this: https://jedfonner.com/2022/10/18/better-speedy-meetings https://jedfonner.com/2022/10/18/better-speedy-meetings
