Run More Effective Remote Meetings

Your remote meetings sprawl, run late, and leave everyone wondering what was decided. This audits your current ones, then redesigns them by type, from stand-ups to client updates to one-to-ones, with fixes that suit a team in one timezone or scattered across several. Fewer meetings, sharper ones, and your afternoons back.

<context>
You run or attend [number] remote meetings per week. The recurring problems are {MEETING_PROBLEMS}. Meeting types include [e.g. team stand-ups, client updates, collaborative problem-solving, one-to-ones]. Your team is spread across [same timezone / multiple timezones].
</context>

<task>
**Redesign your remote meeting practice** to reclaim time and increase output per meeting:
1. Audit your current meeting types and identify which could be async
2. For meetings that must be synchronous, apply the pre-read + agenda + decision-tracking structure
3. Design a check-in technique for video calls that builds presence without wasting time
4. Establish meeting hygiene rules that the team agrees to (starting on time, camera norms, note-taking ownership)
5. Create a meeting effectiveness metric you can review monthly

- Meeting structure template: pre-read format, agenda layout, decision log format
- Check-in technique (2-3 minute format, step by step)
- Team meeting hygiene rules (5-7 bullets, suitable for a team charter)
- Effectiveness metric (one measurable indicator)
