Deep Questions with Cal Newport
Close the Loop Before Moving On
Meetings often lead to distraction and overwhelm when transitioning between tasks, especially if they are stacked back-to-back. To combat this, it's essential to allocate 10 to 15 minutes after each meeting for processing. During this time, individuals should address follow-up tasks, add newly generated deadlines to their calendars, and ensure that all commitments discussed are logged in their task management system.
