What are the weekly habits or workplace practices that no one uses or that are really just a huge waist of time?
THIS ARTICLE from lifehacker.com talks about how most people under 30 don’t leave or listen to voicemail. They use their missed call list as a page system, and then just call people back. I don’t know about you but I do this all the time, especially in regards to listening to voicemail. You can’t scan it for the good or relevant parts like you can text, not that I have ever gotten a voicemail that was irrelevant or to general to be of any use…
Another practice the article from lifehacker.com is the weekly monday over meeting. I would have to agree. Meetings are so subject to being an enormous waist of time, just doing on to do it makes it even harder to not suck. I saw an idea that I really like using meeting tokens over at 43folders.com. I would love to implement this in my own company when it becomes necessary.
What do you think, what are the practices that need to die in your work place, or if you have a creative way of keeping things on track, share that to!
