And, any resolutions for 2020? Did you write less unproductive meetings in your top 10? Probably not, but know that you will spend about 35% of your working time and over 50% if you are in upper management level.
Over the years I did spend a lot of times in meetings, and actually tried to make the best out of it, and that is making the meeting report as concise and actionable as possible. If you want your work and in between meeting to be more productive, try the meeting canvas below, that I produced especially for you. Just before Christmas I released the French version that was a great success, so I moved on to Feel free to adapt in CC commons license:
The specifics of the canvas:
- One document for preparing the agenda/ taking minutes / follow-up in between the meetings
- Clear assignment of specific roles in the meeting
- Clear indication of what is expected about each point
- A kind of task list or in between meetings
- Although a meeting is most of the time serious, there can playful elements or just not clarified elements in it, and that is completely OK, because life is also not just black and white.
