This 5' Morning Routine will save your day
At Wisembly Jam, we create an application to improve team collaboration by addressing the most pressing problem: meetings. I am often asked which books are the most interesting on the subject and I always have trouble answering. Most of them are just uninteresting lists of clichés.
But there is one that inspired us a lot : “Rework” by the co-founders of Basecamp Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson and especially the chapter : Meetings are Toxic. Basically, they explain that meetings are inefficient, too long and poorly prepared, but above all that they are very dangerous for productivity in general.
Meetings break your work day into small, incoherent pieces that disrupt your natural workflow.
Indeed, who hasn’t already been completely depressed just by looking at his calendar on the way to work seeing at a glance the promise of a long, efficient and quiet work session disappear.
We worked hard on the idea that we shouldn’t let others control our agenda. How could we take back control over our schedules and our meetings?
That is why we have just launched the “Daily Meeting review” in Wisembly Jam.
A 5 minutes morning routine that could save your hours of work
Jam offers you every morning to review your meetings of the day and offers you several options for each:
- ask the organiser for a precise agenda
- propose to cancel the meeting
- remind the participants that they must prepare
- notify participants of your absence
- …
Wisembly Jam takes over and contacts the participants on your behalf.
Even if we are working on a meeting management application, we are obsessed with one simple idea: helping employees to take back control and giving them the tools to devote more of their time to the tasks they are passionate about.
