Martin Lindstrom believes we spend too much time in meetings. Here are 6 ways to eliminate meeting fatigue by MartinLindstrom.

"Some employees suffer from Zoom fatigue," Lindstrom writes, "a consequence of spending most of the day with their eyes trained on their laptops or tablets."The following is an excerpt from"The Ministry of Common Sense: How to Eliminate Bureaucratic Red Tape, Bad Excuses, and Corporate BS" by Martin Lindstrom.

The average company has meetings that center around plans, future plans, and lack of plans, meetings that analyze where previous plans went wrong and how to make future plans work better. There are meetings about strategies and the company's inability to strategize. Every last thing demands a meeting, even if no one has anything of value to say or conclude.

In short, hammer down what this meeting is about. Never say you're there to"review" things. That's too broad a subject. Are you seeking approval or clarification? Then say so. Be as concrete as possible. Most meetings last an hour with, as we've just seen, five to seven minutes subtracted for trivial technical issues that need to be resolved.

I'm a big believer in one of Elon Musk's productivity rules:"Walk out of a meeting, or drop off a call, as soon as it is obvious you aren't adding value. It is not rude to leave, it is rude to make someone stay and waste their time." In short, participants should feel free to leave a meeting if they feel they have nothing to contribute.
