Exciting Maths, Exciting Time Savings and Fewer Meetings!

Here’s some exciting maths for you:

• If you save ONE hour per week
• For every week of the year
• You’d save 52 hours over the year
• Less a few weeks’ holiday – let’s say, 45 hours per year
• That’s ONE working week per year

In other words, the top and bottom bullet points show that:

Save ONE hour every week saves ONE working week every year

Nice.

Now, a different topic – two questions about meetings:

1. Do you have too many of them?
2. Of the ones you do need, are they too long?

If you said “yes” to either, the solution’s really simple:

1. Stop the pointless ones
2. Shorten the others

I bet if you did this, you’d save at least ONE hour per week. Which is ONE week per year.

A week you would have spent in meetings!

Therefore…

Action Point

Look ahead to this week’s meetings. Which can you remove? Which can you shorten?

And now remove/shorten them.

Do this every week, and you’ll save days! (This will help too).
