One of the joys of working for yourself is that you don’t have to endure work meetings.
Working in corporate, I felt there was so much time wasting with endless meetings with no agendas (or too many agendas!). Meetings that would go for 4+ hours with so much talking but no decision making. Meetings that would cover up for colleagues who didn’t want to do any work. I was so frustrated by this pointless cycle.
But sometimes meetings can work. Real face-to-face talks can solve problems quickly and stops the endless email tennis.
I have come to realise that the more routine I have, the more creative I can be. I fought the routine for so long but I realised that a system can help me create space.
