**Stop Wasting Hours: Implement the 30/30 Meeting Rule**
Are unproductive meetings draining your calendar and energy? The way we schedule appointments often leads to time waste.
If you want to reclaim your week, try adopting the “30/30 Rule” for instant productivity gains:
1. **The Rule Defined:** All standard 60-minute meetings are automatically reduced to 30 minutes. All 30-minute meetings are reduced to 15 minutes.
2. **The Science:** This leverages Parkinson’s Law—work expands to fill the time available. By reducing the time, you force participants to be succinct, prepared, and focused on the core objectives.
3. **The Benefit:** Shorter meetings require sharper agendas. When there’s less cushion time, the conversation sticks to decision points, not tangents.
4. **Actionable Step:** Always book the “buffer time” back into your calendar. This prevents back-to-back fatigue and allows for essential focus time between sessions.
A tighter schedule leads to clearer outcomes. Try it for a week and see how much time you save!
