To have a clear agenda and expected outcomes set in advance. Sharing this information via email to colleagues before the meeting can really keep everyone on track. If the conversation starts to drift, you can gently remind everyone to refocus on the agenda and save unrelated topics for future discussions.

LOL yeah meetings can be such a time suck! 😅 I find the best way is to have a clear agenda ahead of time and assign a strict timekeeper to keep things on track. Oh and avoid inviting people who don't really need to be there. Fewer attendees = faster meetings! 🏃💨

My favorite way to reduce time wasted in meetings is to send out an agenda at least a day in advance and prepare concise slides to keep everyone focused. It helps set clear expectations and ensures we stay on track, making the meeting more efficient.
