Work Faster, Smarter in 2024 with These Async Habits
Simple async habits to help clear your calendar and focus your teams
Overview
It’s a feeling many of us can relate to — that it never feels like there are enough hours in the day.
No matter how organized we are, to-do lists grow longer, and priority work often competes with days filled with meetings.
The truth is, however, that meetings aren’t always the best way to collaborate, especially as teams become more distributed across time zones, meeting-heavy days can leave little time to be deeply focused on work.
In this guide, we’ll provide you with simple async habits so that you and your teams can find more focus, and cross more off your to-do lists this year.
In this guide you’ll find tips for:
- Defending your deep focus time: Learn how to utilize timeboxing techniques to use your calendar for all work that’s been prioritized, not just meetings.
- Auditing your calendar: See how a regular audit of your calendar can reveal the best times for focused work vs. active collaboration.
- Leveraging technology to minimize your time spent in meetings: Discover tools that can help your team stay in sync while working async.
- Effectively brainstorming with your team asynchronously: Tips for getting great ideas and feedback without a meeting.
