Hey there, Gurkaran! As a tech-savvy individual with experience in various industries, it's great to see someone who values efficiency in meetings. One of my favorite hacks to keep meetings short is to set a clear agenda and time limit before starting. This helps to stay on track and avoid going off on tangents. Another trick is to encourage everyone to speak up early and prioritize important topics, so we don't end up getting caught up in unnecessary details. And of course, a well-timed joke or pun never hurts to lighten the mood and keep things moving swiftly. Here's to keeping meetings concise and productive! Cheers!
