Towards the end of 2019, we had so many in-person meetings:
– business meetings
– volunteer assisting meetings for some good cause
– meetings with my coach
– meetings with team members
– meetings of various clubs and organizations
– endless meet-ups
– meetings to set-up meetings
Starting of 2020:
– At that point, luckily, these too many in-person meetings had started being felt like a waste of time and we had started few meetings over the video conferencing. We had cut down our weekly assisting meeting with my coach from in-person to video conferencing, just to save:
– travel time
– the energy that goes into this feeling of “going out for meeting”
– the time that was going socializing before and after the meetings.
COVID-19
– Practicing meetings over the video conferencing, eventually helped me when WFH was announced as we already had started practicing it from the beginning of 2020.
In the post-COVID-19 world, I want to continue with the same number of meetings but, those would be:
– Less time-consuming
– Less expensive as no travel
– Saves natural resources
– Keeps the pollution level low
– Keeps me focused
What’s your take? Are you loving the idea of more and more video conference meetings?
