Remote vs in-person meetings: which ones waste more of your time?

Same here! I’ve also noticed that in offline meetings, there always needs to be a facilitator to keep the discussion on track. In online meetings, it seems to happen naturally, even without one🤔

I prefer face-to-face meetings. However, it's true that they place demands on the person hosting the meeting. If things go off track, they can quickly become ineffective.

In my experience, remote meetings tend to be more efficient since there's less chit chat and tangents. But in-person brainstorms can spark creative ideas you might not get virtually. I think a mix is ideal - maybe regular focused remote meetings with occasional in-person sessions for more free-flowing collaboration and team building. Curious what others have found works best!

Same here. Remote meetings feel more streamlined with less small talk and more focus. However, I do miss the organic brainstorming that happens in person. Do you think the focus of remote meetings makes up for that?
