In an effort to maximize efficiency and respect for time, I’ve adopted a structured approach to meetings and communication for past years :

1. Structured Formal Meetings:
– Agenda-driven: clear agendas shared in advance.
– Minutes circulated: ensure alignment and clear action items.

2. Designated Communication Times:
– Set times for calls/whatsapp : Pre-workout in the morning before 9 AM, 11:30 AM, and 4:30 PM for essential communication.
– Emails/Messages for non-urgent matters to encourage focused and respectful communication.

This approach has significantly boosted our team’s efficiency and reduced stress.

Looking Ahead to 2024:

– Short, stand-up meetings: for togetherness and open communication.
– Direct calls instead of texts : for personal connection and avoid miscommunication
– Audio/Video messages over text to capture voice nuances and ensure clarity.
– Schedule email on designated times to avoid discruption on my teammates work flow.

Eager to embrace these changes for a more connected and dynamic team.
