Outlook should have a “Calendar Tetris” setting—once an entire day books full of meetings, it clears the column by auto-declining them all.

Project Management Perk (PMP) number one: when you are the project manager . . . you decide when the meetings happen.
#ProjectManagement #scheduling #meetings
This called to mind discussions a friend and I have had about #meetings. Courtesy of working somewhere with a lot of offices world wide, even pre-pandemic nearly every verbal interaction I had looked like a meeting to Teams analytics, because almost everyone I worked with was elsewhere. Once things went full remote for everyone that could, well then.
tfw they use one of 20 minutes to explain how they're going to keep it brief out of respect for everyone's time...
then they run over...

Good morning and happy Tuesday to all of you around the #Fediverse
For the #MorningMoments today, tell me about your day so far, or what you have planned going forward.
For me, I have a work meeting at 2pm and then hopefully afterwards I can get some Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom play time in for a bit.
Afterwards the wife and I will watch some TV shows we need to catch up on.

If we can't change anything, why are we having a #meeting?
Think about it:
If you can't change my mind or anyone's
If we can't change the course we were going on before
If we can't change direction...
Let's collaborate asynchronously instead.
Update me, inform me, show me what you've achieved but don't bother me with a meeting.
Meetings can have a very good team making impact, hence no hard progress on a topic. But in order to do so you need room for it. And cause.

Plan to End Early - I love it!
This article gives some tips for “inclusive scheduling.” It all seems good to me, but one thing in particular stands out, and I’m going to try to do this going forward:
Try on purpose to make the meeting end early.
There are so many benefits. It allows people to hit the restroom between meetings, or grab a drink. It allows “social” time while still in the meeting if desired.
Good stuff all around. Give it a read!

I'm testing otter.ai
on the free plan one gets 300 minutes of real time transcription per month.
Otto can also otter can also transcribe audio that has been recorded previously I'm wondering if the 300 minutes count against such previously recorded audio
I'm also wondering if otter is the best solution the best transcription solution

Okay, major rant right now. Anyone else despise it when #Zoom hosts force you to turn on your #camera? For the past 3 years I’ve never had any issue joining meetings with my camera turned off all until this last week when not one, but two #meetings held by deferent hosts said I couldn’t join if my camera is off. I find this extremely discriminatory cause
1. #Neurodivergent people often don’t feel #comfortable on camera
2. Many people don’t have cameras on their devices, especially on #desktop #PCs where it’s still not a standard feature built into #monitors.
3. The meeting also did not have #endtoend #encryption enabled which to me is too much of a #security risk.
The biggest #kicker is the group didn’t have any issue before with people having their cameras turned off during the meeting but now all the sudden they are not okay with it. Not cool. And just making it very clear, none of the #events I host will ever require a camera. So if you aren’t #comfortable with being on camera in meetings, your #safespace is right here.
My meeting runneth over.

Meeting is over and as expected, it was good like these meetings are every 2 weeks that we have them.
All sorts of good stuff was talked about with regards to @novalauncher and it looks like tomorrow I'll have a busy day!

Meeting-software question:
I just recently heard of "Sesh", which can do an interactive pic of your meeting agenda timeline on Zoom, showing time elapsed & remaining. But the free version of Sesh limits you to 4 people.
I'm not that interested in the rest of what Sesh does, so I wonder if there are other apps that will do a similar interactive meeting timeline, collectively-viewable on Zoom? (not necessarily free, but cheap-ish)
Clues very welcome!
LLMs and UUIDs – May 9th 2023 Regular MUG Meeting https://www.mug.org/2023/04/llms-and-uuids-may-9th-2023-regular-mug-meeting/ #meetings
A few weeks ago, I asked y'all to fill out a survey for a grad school class that I am taking. Yesterday, I finished consolidating responses into a slide deck. Here 'tis, if anyone is interested.
How do you use a #barbarian in a #DnD party...at #work?
He's really good at getting things moving and getting people to do stuff. He's absolutely awful at communicating detail.
On the one hand, I don't want to run endless, tedious #meetings with these people. OTOH, I want to know the facts, not a bad rendition of his misunderstanding.
Maybe you have to be in the raid/meeting yourself and let him bash his way to the treasure chest/thing you want to talk about, then activate self as #wizard.
I've started doing chores during meetings so that I can keep focus on the meetings. How do you stay focused during remote meetings?
Good lord I needed this!

Genuine questions:
What is up with the trend to play music prior to the start of a virtual meeting?
Am I the only person who feels like this is invasive?
Does it make anyone else want to immediately leave?

– In online meetings
– Playing video games
– Playing board games

Greetings on this #Wednesday (aka hump day). We are half way to the #weekend! Just gotta do more #meetings, #writing, working, karate, cheerleading, tests, and forcing #children to do homework. See...easy! 😞

I used to have a problem with a thought gremlin called Dread Buddy.
This little monster would show up in the hours before an important meeting and wreak all sorts of havoc on my day.

Monsieur Renard was a little grumpy (and vocal!) during my work meeting but he's calmed down now.
On the plus side, he did make some valid points and we're going to invite him to the next meeting.
In #Norwegen ist es etwa üblich, #Meetings + #Fortbildungen so zu terminieren, dass auch #Teilzeitkräfte daran teilnehmen können - inkl. An- und Abreise. #OnlineMeetings + #OnlineFortbildungen sind grundsätzlich leichter in #Familienalltag zu integrieren.
Das setzt #Bewusstsein + #Bereitschaft voraus. Deshalb ist es gut, wenn durch den #Weltfrauentag dafür Aufmerksamkeit geschaffen wird.
Es profitieren am Ende alle: #Diversität macht #Teams + #Organisationen stärker!
In a new paper, a transdisciplinary collective of scientists argues that “interaction is at the heart of cognition".
I agree—and interaction is at the heart of events too!

I'm not sure what the best solution is, but the use of Doodle and similar platforms for scheduling meetings drives me crazy. By the time everyone completes the poll (which often takes 2+ weeks), the times I indicated as available are inevitably full.
Wo arbeitet ihr, Homeoffice, eigenes Büro, Remote, Hybrid?
Eine Frage die mich aktuell wieder sehr beschäftigt: Wo arbeiten?
Ich arbeite seit 2 Jahren straight outta Homeoffice, aber bin natürlich auch in den Cafés der Stadt unterwegs, für Besprechungen ect.
Nun überlege ich den Schritt zu einem eigenen Büroraum zu wagen.

In this week’s newsletter, discussion of @samkap’s Inclusive Design Communities, which is a great new primer on the subject, and Shopify’s recent “calendar purge.” I didn’t mean to defend meetings, but …
We just had a meeting with #Nozbe experts team and as weather was nice I attached my iPhone to my bike and attend a meeting while slowly biking along the river in a sunny day 🚲 😎
A lot of people jumped on the anti-meeting bandwagon this week with the announcement by #shopify. I think it's important to note: a) Shopify didn't get rid of all #meetings, they got rid of recurring meetings with more than 2 people. That's a significant difference b) Shopify is currently struggling a lot. Stock value is down because sales are down etc. One failure mode companies try in this situation is to have more and more meetings. Shopify is trying something different.
"When we focus on #utilization, we worry too much about things like reducing #meetings and #interruptions and not enough time on things like reducing #delays and bad #handoffs."
