The only thing better than a short meeting is the meeting that gets cancelled. Quick, efficient meetings are fantastic.
The problem is, I often bite off more than I can chew. I tend to over-promise and under-deliver when it comes to actually keeping the meeting short. Think of me as the restaurant host who always says it'll just be 10 minutes until your table is ready, yet inevitably it's always more like 20.
Why does this happen? Simple, I'm a victim of succumbing to the desire to have a short meeting over the reality of how much material I plan to cover.
Lately I've been able to refine a technique that's helped me kick this habit...and help me be a bit more prepared too.
