I am at the office at around 5AM ever morning for the last 8 months. By the time meetings starting (~9:30AM), I have already hacked for nearly 4.5 hours with no single interrupt.
When I am out at 3:30PM, I pick up my son from his kindergarten and have around 4 hours together until he's going to bed.
It is true I "miss" some "important" meetings, yet, in the corporate I am working for as a consultant, there are ~12K employees (~11K are meeting requesters) and I am glad I miss those useless meetings.

That about made my day. It is true that in large organizations there are people whose only task seem to be to ask others to meet and talk about previous meetings and arrange the next meeting to talk about the current one.
