Meeting Best Practices

📋 Have an Agenda

Meetings without agendas waste everyone's time. Share the agenda beforehand.

👥 Invite Only Necessary People

Every extra attendee increases cost. Ask: "Does this person need to be here?"

⏱️ Default to 25 or 50 Minutes

Build in transition time. Parkinson's Law: work expands to fill the time available.

📧 Could This Be an Email?

If it's just information sharing, send an email. Reserve meetings for discussion.

The Hidden Cost of Meetings

Studies show the average professional spends 31 hours per month in unproductive meetings. That's nearly 4 full work days! The cost goes beyond salaries—it includes context switching, lost focus time, and opportunity costs.
