Make your meetings- work or otherwise, more productive

Addiction to meetings is something that most people are in denial about. You may not realise it yet because you do not have time to think about it. It is actually a global epidemic. A few responsibilities are handed to you and you turn into this person who races through the boardrooms and conference calls trying to catch up with the next meeting and simultaneously replying to dozens of emails. Addiction to meetings reduces your productivity big time. You may think that you are getting a lot done but in the actual sense, you may not have time to perform your role and lead the people who report to you.
