Good morning, this is Laura. Welcome 17 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: to the New Corner Office, the podcast where we share 18 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: strategies for thriving in the new world of work or 19 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: location and hours are more flexible than in the past. 20 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Today's tip is to be strategic about your meetings. By 21 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,960 Speaker 1: understanding exactly when they'll be happening, you can be better prepared, 22 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: manage your energy, and figure out what times you can 23 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: do non meeting work too. Collaboration is amazing in theory, 24 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 1: none of us has all the answers. In practice, though, 25 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: what it means is that most jobs and big organ 26 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: zations involve a lot of meetings. This tendency to schedule 27 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: meetings about everything is exacerbated in a world where lots 28 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 1: of people are working from home. You can't see your 29 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 1: calling to casually ask for his feedback on your proposal, 30 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,760 Speaker 1: so you schedule a formal meeting to get his feedback, 31 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 1: and thus meetings proliferate. Some of that is inevitable, but 32 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: by being a bit more mindful and strategic, you can 33 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: manage your meetings better. Here's what you do. By the 34 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 1: time you start work on Monday morning, take a good 35 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: look at your calendar for the week. When do you 36 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: have meetings summer? No doubt, weekly recurring sorts in summer 37 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: one off types. Figure out how many hours you currently 38 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:48,720 Speaker 1: have booked into meetings. Then do a little triage. Do 39 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: all these meetings have to happen? We've talked in previous 40 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: episodes about seeing what can be canceled, ask for agendas 41 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: for anything that seems iffy, anything that is a one 42 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: on one check in might be better approached as a 43 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,640 Speaker 1: quick phone call, So go ahead and make that call. 44 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: The goal is to reduce the overall meeting load. Then, 45 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: once you're clear on what's staying, figure out what you 46 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: need to prepare for. When people get busy, they just 47 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: start tromping from one thing to the next, like middle 48 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 1: schoolers changing classes. Here's my two o'clock, my three o'clock, 49 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: my four o'clock. This can be a harrowing experience if 50 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: you suddenly realized that the three o'clock involves a complicated 51 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: pitch to a not entirely friendly audience, or if you're 52 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: going to be asked at the two o'clock for your 53 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: opinion on a rather lengthy document. So figure out when 54 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: you can prepare for anything that requires preparation, and mark 55 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: these times on your calendar, and finally, take a step 56 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: back and look at the landscape. Not all meetings for 57 00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: the week will be set by Monday morning, of course, 58 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: but when you see what time is available, you can 59 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: decide what time is good for meetings and what isn't. 60 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: For instance, if you've got no meetings on Wednesday morning 61 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 1: and two in the afternoon, I'd suggest that if someone 62 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: asks to meet on Wednesday, you offer any remaining afternoon 63 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: slots that leaves the morning open for individual focused work. 64 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: One of the most aggravating parts of organizational life is 65 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: that people feel their schedules are chopped up. They never 66 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: have time to achieve that state of flow. Some of 67 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: this is inevitable, but some is self imposed. You don't 68 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 1: have to give Wednesday morning away unless there's a really 69 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: good reason. The upside of mapping out your meetings is 70 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: that you can approach the week feeling far more confident 71 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: and ready for what's to come. You'll steward your energy appropriately, 72 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: you'll perform better in the meetings that happen, and there 73 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: may be fewer of them, and they'll happen at times 74 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 1: that work better for you. Given how draining meetings can be, 75 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: that's really the best possible outcome. So today, approach your 76 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 1: calendar with this strategic spirit, map your meetings for the week, 77 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: and see what you can do to make your work 78 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 1: life feel more doable. In the meantime. This is Laura. 79 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: Thanks for listening and here's to succeeding in the New 80 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: Corner Office.
