I’m not anti-meeting. I’m anti-taking 30 minutes from six people when the problem could have been solved by two people in Teams. Meetings are useful for decisions, messy conversations, real collaboration, and problems that genuinely need people in the room at the same time. They’re considerably less useful for reading information to adults. The longer I work in corporate, the more protective I am of everyone’s actual working time. Which rule would improve your calendar the most? Follow @goodleyliving for practical ways to make corporate life substantially less irritating.

  “Crazy” meeting rules I follow because I actually want people to get work done

• informational · throughout

  1. No agenda? I’m assuming we don’t need the meeting. 2. A status update is not a meeting. 3. 25 minutes is usually enough for a 30-minute meeting. 4. If two people need to solve something, the other eight don’t need to watch. 5. “Optional” should actually mean optional. 6. If you need me to make a decision, tell me that before the meeting. 7. I’m not scheduling a meeting to discuss the meeting we just had. 8. If we leave without an owner and a next step, we mostly just talked. 9. Recurring meetings have to keep earning their spot on the calendar. 10. Sometimes the most productive thing I can do is decline.
