The Meeting Audit
Think about last week. Tick what you sat in, answer three questions about each, and see how many hours a year they take. Four minutes. Everything stays in this browser.
✦ Step one
Which of these did you sit in last week? Tick them. Change the length or how often if ours is wrong. Add anything that is missing.
✦ Step two
Three questions per meeting. Answer from memory, fast. Your gut is right often enough for this.
Most of this is not a calendar problem.
Meetings fill up with you because the company still runs through you. The free Tune-Up takes two minutes and names the part of it leaning on you hardest.
