Too many meetings? Why remote workers need more time to reflect

WWoman on remote meeting looking worn out.

If I were to start talking about time, space, and energy, you might think you were reading an article on quantum physics. But, I am really talking about taking the time and space we need to protect our energy. It is our power to show up, perform, deliver for our clients and achieve results. This requires us to make space for reflection, preventing us from wasting much-needed energy, resources, and time by working on the wrong tasks or using resources ineffectively. This is particularly critical in remote work when we can be prone to taking fewer moments to pause and reflect, instead, filling our diaries with back-to-back meetings.

When we have no time to pause between engagements, we also have no time to process what has just been discussed, nor prepare for the next meeting. We simply dilute the impact of any meeting we have just had and any thoughts or ideas that could come out of it.
