Rule 101 of the Code of Conduct manual for Managers is hold countless meetings. So if you find back-to-back meetings throughout the week a pain, understand that there might be no other way for your manager to achieve relevance, and do actual work. This is what @TheVunderkind explains.
Do see below:
Your manager likes to call meetings because that's the only time he feels like he's actually doing anything.
It's absolution for his guilt.

'I called this meeting 'cos one of our tweets has a typo in it.'
'But…you could have just texted the social media guy.'
'Ehen'
'Yes. WTF.'— mogwai. (@TheVunderkind) November 14, 2016
'No but the presence of a typo is a symptom of an underlying carelessness, and we need to define a process for-'
'Lmao fuck off I'm out bye'— mogwai. (@TheVunderkind) November 14, 2016
Lmao. I wish this actually happens. On the other hand, the person most likely to do this, at any given time in any given room, is me.

Because if you let your manager, they will lock you in meetings DAILY.
And at the end of the week still ask you WHAT WORK YOU DID.

Without meetings, your manager realizes he/she isn't all that necessary to the day-to-day operations.
So they get nervous.

Process meetings.
Pre-process meetings to define the candidates who will attend the process meetings.
Meeting to determine the next meeting— mogwai. (@TheVunderkind) November 14, 2016
You know that vaguely rebellious feeling you get, that feeling that the meeting you just left was TOTALLY useless?
It's because it was.
