Meetings don't have to be a 'necessary evil' @arthurbrooks - ironically there are no b-school or ugrad courses on how to run a #meeting
Our advice?
1) Cancel mtgs w/out a purpose, goal, or agenda
2) Start/end on time
3) Active participation for all

Too many people wait until they're exhausted or depressed to make change or seek help.
Mental health isn't something to put on the back burner. We can't keep good habits in storage until we need them.
Mental hygiene should be as ingrained in our daily routine as dental hygiene.
Meeting design characteristics which significantly predict perceptions of meeting quality by staff. I wonder how young people might rate these characteristics in their #meetings. My first #sketchnote, thanks to @tnvora for the inspiration.
Here's an idea for @Zoom, @Webex, @MicrosoftTeams or others that's waiting to happen.

Solution: Auto-correct framing/cropping for right-sizing of heads
Your ability to speak clearly is enhanced by reading (not listening) to books and by writing and journaling in complete sentences. Texting, voice dictation and audio books are wonderful but degrade articulation. Conversely, structured writing aids structured speech.
Why do long meetings exist? You're telling me that the 90 minutes it took for you to give a rundown is the same 90 minutes it took Shrek to take down the monarchy AND learn to dissolve his emotional barriers so he could welcome people into his life?
"Pre-pandemic, 8% of U.S. office workers were fully remote. Now, 32% either are remote or want to be, per Gallup polling. And most others want hybrid work." - via @axios. This approx trues up with @McKinsey's recent report on the future of #hybridwork https://t.co/hsVo4T7sld

76 companies tested meeting-free days. Productivity & satisfaction increased, stress dropped, communication & cooperation improved.
Blocking out time to focus is good for people and performance.
