Keep meetings under 25 minutes. -_- . Break out if you need a deeper discussion.

I agree that most meetings can be shorter - I've started proposing 15 mins instead of 30 for things that should be quick - but it aggravates me to no end when people can't tolerate 3 mins of discussion to save 30 emails.

One partner in particular keeps insisting that we "take this to email to save time" but I will spend days chasing people around for input when we could have spent the 3-5 mins on the call hashing it out.
