Letโ€™s say โ€” Priya is a delivery manager who prides herself on being โ€œAvailable.โ€

โ€ข Her calendar? Packed.
โ€ข Her day? A blur of calls.
โ€ข Her team? Always looping her in.
She hops from sync to sync, 8 hours straightโ€ฆ but actual work? Left for late nights.

Priya confuses presence with productivity.
Sheโ€™s not managing outcomes โ€” sheโ€™s managing airtime.

You introduce Priya to the 3C Meeting Framework:
1. Clarity โ€“ Every meeting must have a clear objective. If it doesnโ€™t, it doesnโ€™t happen.
2. Control โ€“ Set strict agendas. Assign a moderator. Timebox discussions.
3. Cadence โ€“ Not every issue needs a meeting. Use tools like Loom, Slack, shared docs to reduce โ€œcalendar addiction.โ€

- Priya audits her weekโ€™s meetings. 15 total.
- She categorizes them:
โ€ข 5 were redundant
โ€ข 3 couldโ€™ve been emails
โ€ข 2 had no outcomes
- She cuts the clutter โ€” creates "Focus Blocks" on her calendar.

She also trains her team on async updates and decision templates.

โ€ข 35% fewer meetings
โ€ข More thinking time
โ€ข Quicker decisions
โ€ข Better energy in critical conversations

โœ“ Respects time โ€” everyoneโ€™s
โœ“ Builds a culture of outcomes, not noise
โœ“ Empowers teams to communicate with intention

๐—ง๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†:
If your calendar is full but your progress is slow โ€” the problem isn't time management, it's meeting mismanagement.

Train your managers to treat meetings like money โ€” invest only when thereโ€™s a real return.
