Done With Meetings? Don't give up yet!
Meetings get a bad rap for limiting productivity from the day. While work-from-home and office hybrid hours have changed how we attend meetings, the "Zoom Fatigue" is a real feeling.
Meetings can be a centralized way to get everyone on the team up to speed at once and open the door for questions and discussion without sorting through messages on several different platforms. It's pretty clear to many people that their current mode of communication in the office isn't sustainable. So what do we do?
While there are advantages to meetings, they may often be unnecessary, or the attendees may not all need to be there. If you're suffering from meeting overload and it's affecting your ability to complete regular client tasks or your share of a project, you may need to trim the fat from your schedule.
Check out our latest blog entry to help Double Your Productivity By Asking Yourself These Simple Questions.
