What is your biggest challenge with meetings?

Meetings are a crucial part of our work life. If you're a manager, you tend to spend hours every day on virtual meetings. Would love to ask the PH community about their major challenges with meetings.

@angrezi_ , we are actually developing a solution to have more productive 1:1s and team meetings. Please check zipdo.co - We are launching our MVP soon and if you want to be one of the first users to try it out, please contact me at ajeser[at]zipdo.co or join our waitlist.

Most meetings are not set for actual collaboration, but one-sided updates, alignments, sharing info. All of which could've been done with an email. Or even better - with a VoiceLine ;)

@fantivecreations it sounds like VoiceLine + http://sesh.com/ would solve both of these problems!

We did a recent analysis on how many productive hours teams are wasting on meetings and the results were shocking. We are now building an asynchronous tool that helps automates daily and weekly meetings to ensure more productivity.

Meetings set for sharing updates / reviewing work (can be done async).

In tira.so we limit meetings. If a meeting can be a message, we’ll send the message. Unnecessary meetings are a massive waste of time. At Tira, we only have meetings when it’s an absolute necessity. For example, the marketing team has one set meeting a week to plan marketing activities and align on projects. Having meetings any more frequently than this would almost certainly be a waste of time for us. We keep the meetings short and straight to the point so that we can get back to working on our tasks. Time is of the essence and we do everything to avoid wasting it.😎🙌

@karolina3 that sounds like a great practice - how do you keep track of your agenda and meeting outcomes?

The way meetings are currently run is SO UNPRODUCTIVE: 1. This meeting could have been an email (like you mentioned) 2. People don't come PREPARED (they haven't completed their tasks / don't have the necessary discussion material) - due to lack of accountability / clarity 3. REPETITION OF POINTS (because of lack of documentation / accountability) 4. MISALIGNMENT on meetings 5. FRAGMENTATION of meeting notes (across email / task mgmt / personal notetaking apps) - no one source of truth I'm actually building something to solve for this! Have closed beta launch in a few weeks if you're interested! https://www.arrowhead.live/
