Meetings Rants

Eliminate low-value 'quick syncs' by implementing a strict policy: any calendar invite without a clear agenda and pre-read document is automatically declined. Designate two full days per week as meeting-free deep-work days to give teams focus time without calendar interruptions.

Instead of a quick sync meeting just to prove you are working, how about a daily status report from each team member due by 9:30am. If clarifications are needed, fine to then call a meeting.
