If you want to make sure that you and your team’s time is spent most effectively, and you want to design better meetings all around, it is crucial to make your meetings short and to the point.
Don’t Waste Attendees’ Time
Its more than likely that your team’s attention will be spent after 30 minutes of meeting time. Its not that they are bored or easily distracted – it’s the simple fact that there is a lot of information to process, and the longer the meeting the more inputs need to be cognitively handled.
Making, and keeping, short meetings is an essential component to improving your teams efficiency. An agenda will tend to expand to fill up whatever time limit is set for a particular meeting, so give your meetings a “hard stop” and make sure you stick to it!
