Watch this video to find out why meetings and other interruptions at work are toxic.
At TEDxMidwest, Jason Fried explains why the office isn’t a good place to get work done. He lays out some of the main problems and offers three suggestions to make work, well, work.
Meetings break your work day into small, incoherent pieces that disrupt your natural workflow.
Meetings are usually about words and abstract concepts, not real things (like a piece of code or some interface design)
Meetings usually convey an abysmally small amount of information per minute.
Meetings often contain at least one moron that inevitably gets his turn to waste everyone’s time with nonsense.
Meetings frequently have agendas so vague nobody is really sure what they are about.
Meetings require thorough preparation that people rarely do anyway.
