For all the time we spend in a meeting, we then spend more time after the meeting actioning what was discussed.
So to use our meeting time more effectively, consider what tasks can be actioned in the meeting itself.
What simple tasks can be done in the moment?
Can time be allocated during the meeting for the team to knock out what’s needed?
Who in the meeting can be better engaged?
Not everything can (or should) be actioned in a meeting, but it’s worth exploring ways to make your meetings more productive (especially if your schedule is meeting-heavy).
