I often think the once-a-week-no-meeting-days should be reversed to once-a-week-meeting-days. Put all status, retrospective, planning and other recurring meetings into this one day so people can actually work the rest of the week.
During Covid my company had a 32 hour week for a year and we lost zero productivity because the first thing that was eliminated were the meetings that just fill time but achieve nothing.
- phreack 3y agoRegular meetings and calls can't go over twice a week period. For me, it's one of the biggest reasons for unproductivity. I've worked on a lot of projects and the amount of meetings was directly correlated to how much everything was delayed. In all cases, the people who pushed the most for meetings were the ones who contributed the least, and in fact had a negative impact. Nowadays it's a nonnegotiable rule from the start in our agency when taking on new clients.
