7 rules for setting up meetings
I was looking into rules for meetings.
What are good times to meet? How long? How do you set up meetings?
This is what I found:
- ✅ Do meetings of 1/2 hour or an hour. Most people prefer this.
- ❌ Don’t schedule meetings before 9:00 AM or after 4 PM. People like to do some start- and end-of-day activities.
- ✅ Do leave 12 – 1 PM free. Lunchtime!
- ❌ Don’t do meetings on Friday. This is usually the day for personal activities and wrapping up for the weekend.
- ✅ Do set the meeting’s purpose. A title is often not enough, give a description of the goal of the meeting.
- ❌ Don’t be late.
- ✅ Offer multiple slots to choose from. Stops back-and-for emailing about day and time.
