There is a lack of "deep work" in many organisations today.
Too many people focus on responding to notifications quickly rather than making progress on their top priorities. Too many people are in unnecessary meetings.
More movement is needed towards core objectives.
Meetings are valuable if they are run well. They are best started with a well-written document that all attendees can read at the beginning of the meeting with the context, options, and intended outcome of the meeting. Then, use the meeting for brainstorming and creative solutioning.
Meetings should have outcomes, not result in more meetings.
If a meeting is to provide updates, replace it with an async video recording. It allows to share information while keeping the human touch, and allows people to consume the content at their own pace.
