One of the things that people are running into is Zoom link overload. My days are back to back
One thing I don't think they included is scheduling meetings - beyond just a calendly availability.
I've been using https://Woven.com https://Woven.com to coordinate work availability for the past year and it's really helped me get a handle on my time.
I think time & calendars are going to be the next tools people are really going to need as they have to do a lot more self-directed remote owkr.
- jedieaston 7y agoI think 99% of people are just using Outlook for this (or Google Calendar, if that's how you roll). It knows everyone's availability, will notify you if someone can't make the meeting you are creating, and can automatically generate the Zoom info and add it to the invite. Then, if you want, you can link your Exchange calendar to Zoom so it just pops up a join button in a notification five minutes before (or, of course, just open the calendar event and click the link). It's very similar for Teams and webex too, if you use those ones (just need the webex plugin), and Google Calendar auto generates Hangouts Meet links if you are a GSuite group. It's much easier to use the calendar everyone already has than to find yet another SaaS to manage. And, by default, Outlook doesn't show what you are doing if there is a conflict, just "busy", so it does allow you to add blocked periods for lunch or focused work.
