What is the hardest part about having a work meeting?

I have meetings every day. Preparing materials and assigning members is very hard. What is the hardest part of a work meeting for you? Examples - Being held in an unnecessary meeting? - Setting up a meeting? - The inability of members to focus and participate in meetings?

Having to have to do it over video. I think so many meetings could be over the phone.

The meeting is not related to me.

@jensen_chen Why are you being called into a meeting that is not relevant?

@814_kimura86 "unnecessary meeting" too much meetings without clear results / decisions for my taste. Additionally, the problem for me is always when I come out of a meeting and the documentation takes forever. "Setting up" But we are working on it. Aiming to create a pre-selection of decisions to make during or at the end of the meeting and have those structured and - more important - made, based on the criteria agreed on. Means meeting is over, documentation executed. "inability of members to focus and participate" Clear result!

Scheduling is terrible. It gets worse as number of ppl involved increases. It would be easier if ppl could discuss things live, in text channels such as slack, discord, etc.

I think to set up a meeting and then waiting for other members to arrive.

Deciding whether to attend a meeting: most of them are not necessary nor relevant.

Quite literally all of the above. Its ridiculous that we're in 2020 and there isn't a sorted out way to hold better meetings. Had enough frustrations from no shows to no agenda, and people just diverging conversation ended up building to solve for exactly this: https://remoteworkly.co I'd love for you to try it out to get your feedback if you're open to it ?

@veebuv https://remoteworkly.co is your product? If I have a team, do I need to sign up for this service with all my team members?
Vaibhav Namburi
@814_kimura86 Hey mate, yeah this is ours You can sign up and use it as an individual too, but its best suited when you've got more than 1 person in your team PS its free forever if you're less than 10 people :)

@veebuv I've signed up. How do I add meetings to my smart meetings?
Vaibhav Namburi
@814_kimura86 Awesome just saw. You go to Smart meetings, integrate google, and simply click on a meeting and on the right you can add your meeting notes :)

@veebuv I wasn't able to tell you the details. I can add my meeting notes :) Can I add an appointment to my calendar using remoteworkly? Do I have to use Google Calendar to add an appointment?

depends on the reason for a meeting!
