Get Things Done, Stop Wasting Time

My today’s guest is Sam Bennett. In our conversation, we are going to discuss why at least 90% of work meetings are a complete waste of time and energy. You might think, I also attend some meetings that are not beneficial and without any outcome, or the outcome is just another meeting. Now, if you wonder how that plays into your productivity, we will also see some fundamental misconceptions when we think and talk, probably too much about the term productivity. Sam is a great person to talk to about those topics as she has written two bestselling books on how to get things done and how little but constant changes can have a huge impact on your life. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 💡 QUESTIONS AND VIEWS HIGHLIGHTED IN THIS EPISODE: Why meetings are so infamous Basics of an effective meeting How to conduct inclusive and participative meetings The art of virtual meetings Thoughts on productivity Some have it others not, time ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ♨ EXCERPTS YOU MIGHT WANT TO JUMP IN 00:00 Intro 02:00 Let's have a meeting 06:00 From Actor to Author 13:40 Meeting Culture 31:50 First steps 43:20 Bullshit tasks 52:55 Productivity vs Balance ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Flash Hub provides tools, workflows, and skills to hire freelance experts and set up your first team in a matter of days.
