Description

Some meetings are necessary. This book is for the rest.

Meetings is a log for tracking exactly how much of your life disappeared into a conference room, a call, or a calendar invite with no agenda. Write it down, check the box, and finally add up the damage.

What’s inside

  • 250 meetings, two per page: a full work year of one meeting a day
  • Date, start and end time, and time wasted for every meeting
  • Organizer, number invited, and number who actually needed to be there
  • “What was the issue?” and “What got resolved?” lines (most of the time, nothing)
  • “Could this have been an email?” with three honest options: Yes, Obviously, or No, it was legit
  • A Meeting Pain Scale from 1 (mild) to 10 (I quit)
  • Running Totals pages to add up your time wasted as you go
  • Repeat Offenders: tally who keeps calling the meetings that could have been emails
  • The Damage: your grand totals, your percentage, and what you could have done with that time instead
  • A Hall of Shame for the worst ones
  • 6 x 9 inches, 136 pages, paperback

Who it’s for
Coworkers, bosses, remote workers, new managers, and anyone who has ever watched a meeting run 20 minutes past its useful life. A great gag gift for white elephant swaps, Secret Santa, office birthdays, and retirement parties.

Pairs well with a strong cup of coffee and a very short agenda.
