Are meetings the medicine that can cure our productivity woes, or are they the disease itself?🤔 Imagine a workplace where the rhythm of productivity dances freely across the day, uninterrupted by the monotony of excessive meetings. The article I stumbled upon shared a fascinating insight on cracking the code to reduce meetings and amplify output. In the realm of efficiency, could we liken meetings to sugar? Just like a sprinkle improves the taste, but an excess spoils the dish, could it be that our calendars are overcrowded with "sweet" meetings that leave us with a bitter aftertaste of unaccomplished tasks?🍬 Let's ponder on that for a moment. The wisdom hidden between the lines of this article transcends the conventional belief that more meetings equate to more progress. It challenges us to rethink our approach to collaboration and time management, urging us to savor the essence of purposeful interactions over the quantity of scheduled gatherings. What if we reshaped our view of meetings not as mandatory checkpoints but as strategic pauses in our symphony of work, carefully orchestrated to harmonize individual efforts towards a collective masterpiece? It's a tantalizing concept to consider in our quest for peak efficiency. Let's embrace this fresh perspective and explore how embracing fewer, more impactful meetings could be the key to unlocking our full potential and sculpting a workplace where productivity thrives effortlessly.🌟 https://lnkd.in/gFC7tCUQ

Do you enjoy the empowerment and flexibility of working from home or prefer the structure and social aspect of office attendance? With the rise of hybrid and onsite work settings, companies are seeking new ways to optimize productivity. However, the debate over remote work continues. Remote work often faces criticism for potential decreases in productivity. But here's the truth: motivation matters more than location. 🤷♂️ While I thrive in a remote work environment, I understand it's not for everyone. Some prefer the structure and social interactions of onsite settings, and that's valid too. Speaking from experience of getting things done, I've found that I can be just as—if not more—productive when working from home. But I recognize it may not be the same for everyone, especially parents balancing work and family life. What about you? Which side are you on? Let's hear your thoughts! As always, my virtual door is open for a chat about remote work, career advice, or just a friendly conversation.  Let's connect and talk - https://t.ly/2dHCU! 😊

While I work at OnBoard, the Pathfinders at eScribe (OnBoard's sister company) are doing some pretty awesome research. Check it out below! The eScribe team just published the inaugural State of the Clerk’s Survey, which included responses from more than 500 city clerks across North America. Download the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gBwZtUiJ    Top 3 takeaways:    🗓️Most clerks spend 5-10 hours weekly preparing for public meetings. ⌛What is the biggest challenge clerks say they face? Time management. 📉55% of all clerks do not feel the public is well engaged with their local government.   #cityclerk #localgovernment #municipalclerks
