Meetings suck.

But they don’t have to.

Get a decision matrix to help you decide which meetings to start, stop or continue holding and attending.

We all have unconscious biases about meetings. Between how it’s always been done, the fire drill of the moment and an authentic desire to move things along, we sometimes have knee jerk reactions and schedule meetings without fully considering their impact.

Well, consider these stats:

  • A study by Otter.ai found that professionals were spending about 18 hours a week in meetings with 30% of that time considered unproductive.

  • HBR reported that executives spend an average of 23 hours per week in meetings, up from less than 10 in the 60’s, despite the meteoric rise in technology.

  • Or this often cited study by Doodle that estimated that professionals in the US spend about 2 hours per week in pointless meetings accounting for about 24 billion hours wasted every year!

This decision matrix is a simple, thoughtful tool to support some good meeting hygiene in your week. Check it out.
