At Automattic, we know our time is finite and precious. Here are the questions we ask ourselves before agreeing to any meeting:
- Am I investing time toward the things that are doing the most to help me grow and improve my ability to contribute?
- How much of my time is contributing to my team’s goals, and choosing the right ones?
- Is the work effective? Is it moving the needle? Can I describe it to a friend over dinner in a way that gets them excited? Can I blog about it?
- Are all my meetings so effective that you look forward to them? (Don’t laugh. It is possible.)
