Meeting-free days allow more deep work to get done. At PostHog, we've mandated Tuesdays and Thursdays as meeting-free days, which has had a significant impact on our team’s productivity. Mondays are reserved for company updates and Wednesdays for team updates. Every 2nd Friday, we do a retrospective planning session with life stories in between. We also use meetings for [SuperDays](https://posthog.com/handbook/people/hiring-process/), one-to-one coffee breaks (one every two weeks), or optional group socials (once per week).

Our meeting-free days create a natural cadence for the week, with everyone knowing they will alternate between ‘light’ and ‘heavy’ days with plenty of time in between to get good work done. In practice, while Monday, Wednesday, and Friday are meeting days, only a few people will use up that time for important work, such as [James](/community/profiles/71) or [Yakko](/community/profiles/56); or Eltje, our People Ops & Talent Manager, speaking to candidates.

Building a positive and productive meeting culture must be modeled from the top. While many companies have different policies around meetings, things on the ground might be different. For example, a company could declare Tuesdays as meeting-free days and still have a manager set up a meeting during that protected time because their calendars are full. This erodes trust in the system and fosters resentment.

Part of our magic here at PostHog is that we practice what we preach. James and [Tim](/community/profiles/108), PostHog’s co-founders, publicly model a low internal meeting culture. This sets the tone for the rest of the company and leads to high trust in management. It also assures everyone that they’ll always have plenty of non-meeting time to get work done.

### At PostHog...

PostHog has seen significant growth over the past year resulting in a [Series B raise](https://posthog.com/blog/15-million-series-b). Following this, [James](/community/profiles/71) and [Tim](/community/profiles/108), our co-founders, decided it was the right time to introduce dedicated DevRel roles (I'm particularly pleased about this because it means I now get to work here!). Before this, all potential DevRel activities were spread across other team members. But, because PostHog is a developer-centric company, operates with [small teams](/handbook/company/small-teams), and embraces [stepping on toes](/handbook/company/values#step-on-toes), people need to continue to do what's required to ship. There are, however, some gaps and opportunities where DevRel can make improvements or begin new activities.
