I think this was the first work day I can remember that I didn't have a single meeting! It was a great day! We started a new "no meeting policy" for Wednesday afternoons at my workplace, too, and I love it. I understand that sometimes meetings are important, but we have so many sometimes, that I feel like it's hard to ever find a solid block of time to get much done.
I'm trying to stick by some of our best practices - have an agenda, stay focused, and keep meetings short. I've also tried a few new things with 1:1's... doing them while walking when the weather's nice or treating someone to lunch. It definitely helps me feel like I'm talking to a friend rather than 'working.'
Here's an article from OfficeVibe that talks about how we can make meetings "suck less"! http://www.officevibe.com/blog/making-meetings-suck-less
