Sometimes I find remote meetings exhausting because of the screen time. How do you feel about remote meetings?

- Cut unnecessary meetings: Save time by solving quick issues through chat instead of scheduling meetings.
- Invite only necessary team members: Keep meetings focused by only inviting those involved in the discussion. In the meeting, If someone or 2 team members discussed a outside topic only specifically for them just cut it out.
- Set time limits: Avoid going off-topic by setting a specific time limit for meetings.

@distartin Cutting unnecessary meetings through chat is definitely helpful, and sending 3-4 minute video messages is a good way to achieve this.
Following these simple steps can help you ensure your remote meetings are productive:
Set a clear agenda
Use video conferencing
Assigning specific roles to attendees
Encourage all attendees to participate
Try keeping it short and focused
Keep coming back to the main topic

Having an agenda. I used to think they were odd, but they really do keep you on track. Having someone to lead the meeting, even if it's a small one who has this agenda can help as well.
