THE GUIDE
How to keep meetings on time (with a visible timer)
Meetings overrun when time is invisible. A timer on the shared screen, with a time for each agenda item, makes everyone more concise without anyone having to be the bad guy.
How to use it
- Pick a preset or write your own agenda with minutes for each item.
- Share your screen and press start. Use full screen in a meeting room.
- A soft chime plays one minute before each item ends, and again at zero.
- If an item overruns, the clock turns red and shows how far behind plan you are. Decide: park it, or take time from a later item.
Rules that keep meetings short
- No agenda, no meeting.
- Put the decision items first, while people are fresh.
- End with who does what by when.
- Make 30-minute meetings 25, and hour-long ones 50, so people get a break.
