It's time we can't get back, why do we keep doing it?

And by 'doing it' I am referring to going to meetings that add little value to our day... We've all know signs of a bad meeting

* mixed bag of items to talk about

* people are unprepared

* people distracted on devices * small majority contribute

* decisions aren't made

* lack of focus on outcomes needed

Simple strategies you can use

* Be clear on the purpose/priorities of the meeting and what you want to achieve

* Based on the above point, have you got the right people, and only the right people in the room

* Don't be fixated on 30 or 60 minute meetings - make the meeting only as long as it needs to be

* Go to your calendar, print out your week and channel your inner Marie Kondo. Take them all out and put back only the ones you have to attend. Delegate or decline the others.
