I have been using this technique (scheduling space between meetings) for about a decade and it works quite well. No more feeling rushed and my notes are much more complete. Five minutes is frequently a good time limit, but I have also scheduled in blocks of 15 minutes after meetings that I know will have quick follow ups. I have found that when the meeting is fresh on my mind, I can pound out a number of follow ups in those few minutes and still have time to refresh my water before my next meeting. To your success!
