2-2-2 rule, love it! A little structure goes a long way. I'm trying a similar action item cadence - 5 min recap after meetings to clarify next steps, 3 priority items max per person, weekly check-in on progress/blockers. Keeping it lightweight but consistent to make sure things actually get done post-meeting. 👊
The '2-2-2 rule' for action items. 2 mins right after the meeting to clarify tasks, 2 tasks max per person, 2 day check-in for quick blockers. Overcomplicating the system was actually killing our follow-through.
My go-to method is creating an action log during the meeting itself. Each item gets an owner a deadline and a status check in our next meeting. It's not perfect but it's made follow-ups much more structured.
