Meeting Productivity: Symptoms
A Collection of Symptoms for When Meetings Go Wrong
Meetings can be a productivity killer. But sometimes, they're a productivity killer with symptoms. Here's a list of symptoms to look out for:
- Paranoia - You start questioning everyone's motives and wonder if they're secretly plotting against you.
- Burnout - You feel like you're constantly running out of energy and ideas.
- Infestation - Meetings start to feel like an invasion of your personal space.
- Derp - You start to feel like you're not taking in anything and just end up nodding and saying "uh-huh".
- Distance - You start feeling like you're on Mars and everyone else is speaking a different language.
- Derangement - Meetings start to make you question reality and wonder if it's all just a simulation.
Don't see any of these symptoms? Maybe you're just not looking hard enough. Or maybe you're just not meeting enough. Either way, it's worth exploring further.
