Use this tool to determine if your interaction needs a meeting or can be handled asynchronously
Identify all the needs this interaction aims to address. Different goals may require different approaches.
Unnecessary meetings are a major drain on valuable time, energy, and focus. This simple tool helps you quickly evaluate whether a real-time meeting is truly the most effective way to achieve your goal, or if an asynchronous method like email, chat, or a shared document would be more efficient. By using this checklist before you schedule or accept an invitation, you can reclaim hours for focused work, reduce meeting fatigue for yourself and your team, improve communication clarity, and ensure that when you do meet, it's for a clear, productive purpose.
