Meetings don't have to be a 'necessary evil' @arthurbrooks - ironically there are no b-school or ugrad courses on how to run a #meeting Our advice? 1) Cancel mtgs w/out a purpose, goal, or agenda 2) Start/end on time 3) Active participation for all theatlantic.com/family/archi…

Do sidebar chats become too distracting while presenting in @Zoom? If you're the host, you can temporarily disable them to prevent focus drift. This is useful if you have a presentation that really should be a presentation (and not an email). Learn more: support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/art…

Too many people wait until they're exhausted or depressed to make change or seek help. Mental health isn't something to put on the back burner. We can't keep good habits in storage until we need them. Mental hygiene should be as ingrained in our daily routine as dental hygiene.

Here's an idea for @Zoom, @Webex, @MicrosoftTeams or others that's waiting to happen. Problem: When joining a team video chat, many participants have different cameras with different fields of view/depth, etc. Solution: Auto-correct framing/cropping for right-sizing of heads

Your ability to speak clearly is enhanced by reading (not listening) to books and by writing and journaling in complete sentences. Texting, voice dictation and audio books are wonderful but degrade articulation. Conversely, structured writing aids structured speech.

Why do long meetings exist? You're telling me that the 90 minutes it took for you to give a rundown is the same 90 minutes it took Shrek to take down the monarchy AND learn to dissolve his emotional barriers so he could welcome people into his life?
