Book at time at http://www.ponders.us/1on1.html # My ideal remote meeting - Is usually voice only (see [[fatigue from video calls]]) - Is usually one-on-one - Ends 5 minutes before the hour - Starts with a minute for breathing - Has a virtual note-taker - You are a bit late and you don't acknowledge it, understanding that you just gave me a gift and an excuse to breathe - You ## On cancelling and rescheduling - Please do cancel or reschedule if you are having a hard day (unless talking to me will make your day better) - ex. if you were in meetings for 6 hours straight and have not eaten, exercised, or pet a dog, just cancel. We can connect again and you are in no state to meaningfully connect ## Types of meetings - Catch-up - Let's do these on the phone (or WhatsApp or Signal) ideally while walking - You are helping me - Let's do it in what ever location/medium you prefer - I'm helping you - Phone or video works well - Send me a recap of the meeting. Bullet points of the actions discussed that you want me to take. Please include timelines if timelines are important. - We are brainstorming together - Let's have some sort of whiteboard or collaborate doc going - Rapid fire questions - Phone call (or WhatsApp or Signal) ## Pre-Mortem - microphones aren't working well ## Related - [[Guide to working with me]] - [[Guide to being my friend]]
