Shorten meetings and stay focused by timing them. Many teams talk too long with no clear end. Instead, set a strict time limit. It makes people focus and decide what matters.

Here's how to do it. Start by setting a timer everyone can see. Keep meetings under 30 minutes. Pick someone to keep people on topic. If anyone goes off track, stop them right away. End when the main goal is met. Never add extra topics once the meeting starts. (1/2)
