5 ways to end meeting madness on a Monday?

5 ways to end meeting madness on a Monday?

1. Email?
Ask first, can it be an email?

2. Type?
Decide what type you want? I classify into -
-Info (Status Update)
-Discussion (Brainstorming)
-Decision

3. Time Duration?
Time them to short & non-standard timings (20 min vs 30 min). Parkinson’s law states work expands to fill time. Attention spans are also dwindling. This helps to NOT discuss the match or movie.

4. Size?
The more, the non-merrier. #Amazon recommends not more than folks sufficing 2 large pizzas.

5. Minutes?
Minutes matter when sent from the meeting itself.
Format: Action-person-end date.
If it’s taking you more than a day or it’s a long 2 pager, you are writing a story not minutes, JkRowling!

Bonus:
Sitting or Standing?
Standing ones are more effective, helps reduce unnecessary chatter. Brave ones can try plank meetings😮‍💨

What else will you add for material meetings?
