The Mind-Blowing Magic of Meeting Free Days

Meetings are an essential part of any business or organization, but they can also be a major time drain and a source of stress. That’s why it’s important to have meeting-free days in your schedule. Here are a few reasons why you need meeting-free days:

  1. To increase productivity:
    • Meetings can be disruptive to your workflow and can take up valuable time that could be spent on more productive tasks. By having designated meeting-free days, you can focus on your work and get more done without constant interruptions.
  2. To reduce stress:
    • Too many meetings can lead to burnout and increased stress levels. By having some time to yourself each week, you can recharge and refocus, helping you to be more productive and less stressed in the long run.
  3. To foster creativity:
    • Meetings can sometimes stifle creativity and innovation, as they often involve a lot of talking and not enough time for deep thinking and problem-solving. Meeting-free days can provide the space and time you need to think creatively and come up with new ideas.
  4. To improve work-life balance:
    • It’s important to have a healthy work-life balance in order to maintain your well-being and happiness. Meeting-free days can help you create boundaries between your work and personal life, giving you time to focus on your own needs and interests.

While meetings are an important part of any business, it’s important to have some time to yourself in order to be productive, reduce stress, foster creativity, and improve your work-life balance.

Designating meeting-free days can help you achieve these goals and ultimately lead to a healthier and more fulfilling work experience.

Keep up the good work,

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
