You've probably seen this virtual meeting meme at the start of the COVID-19 2020 pandemic when the frequency and length of virtual meetings dramatically increased.
This meme might be silly, but it speaks the truth.
Most meetings can indeed be an email or communicated via other asynchronous communication methods.
That's precisely what this article is all about:Â learning how to have fewer virtual meetings, by leaning into asynchronous collaboration.
As much as the tools are important, there's another part that makes up whether you successfully manage to run fewer meetings virtually - your ability to effectively plan them while at the same time, keeping your employees engaged.
How to Have Fewer Virtual Meetings with Asynchronous Meeting ToolsIn a 2020 meeting survey with 757 respondents from the US, workers reported that there has been a 22% increase in short meetings (30 minutes or less).
With hybrid working being the new norm, we need to make sure, regardless if we are at home or in the office that we stay connected and establish routines.
How can we manage working effectively when some of our colleagues are in the office?Here are 5 tips that we recommend using to keep it together when working at home.1)Don’t feel like you need to prove anything to anyone but youIt is easy to slip into the habit of justifying the work that you are doing if you have no co-workers around to see you doing it.
Over-stressing to others what your start and end times are, on top of reiterating your to-do list of completed tasks, along with exclamations of “Where has the day gone?”Working from home doesn’t mean you need to work longer to justify the lack of a commute.
It is tempting to start work from the moment you should have left for work, but by doing this, you get yourself in the habit of working extra hours, trying to prove that you are, indeed, working hard.If you and your boss (if you have one) know that you are delivering the results as expected, then that is enough; don’t tie yourself in knots over what others might be thinking about you, as the reality is, they most likely aren’t thinking about you at all.Remind yourself about the interruptions that you suffer while working in the office, and welcome the quiet time of working at home, so you can plan and think undisturbed.
All those “Could you just..?” moments add up!The bottom line of this tip is to enjoy putting in the period of hard graft, but then be sure to enjoy the flexibility of spending time enjoying your home and your family.
In the office, you would have shut down and gone home.2)Create a close-able work zoneSometimes we don’t have a dedicated working space.
