    If it’s unclear why you’re meeting, you shouldn’t be meeting in the first place!

    That's such a good way of thinking about it!

    ' I need to speak to people, to deal with something important, before it becomes urgent' That's it!.

    100%!! I always ask for some context before agreeing to a meeting because I do not like bait'n switch outreach. We just respect everyone's time!

    I generally agree! Though, I think we underestimate "to connect, to bond, to be together" as a "why". I'm not afraid to set the agenda to be undefined outcomes of potential closeness.

    @sabina_sonning really good point, thanks for bringing this up. And indeed I think connecting and bonding is a really valid point to schedule a meeting :)

    Meeting invites should include "What we want to get out of this meeting" note.

    Hey there! I completely agree that meetings should always have a clear purpose. As someone deeply invested in various tech realms like edtech and data science, I've learned that productive meetings are essential for staying on track and fostering innovation. So, whether it's for brainstorming new ideas or aligning on project goals, having a solid rationale for a meeting is key. After all, time is too valuable to be wasted on aimless discussions. Happy meeting strategizing!
