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.
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.
