The real hack for fewer meetings is to lean into them and make sure the reason you were invited actually happens. A lot of meetings are tedious because they're repeats. The last time you met, the thing that needed to happen didn't happen.

Dan's answer is 100% legit. All meetings aren't terrible. *Other* people's meetings are terrible. When you need something from somebody else, a meeting is just you doing your job. We can all do our part by helping other people's meetings be successful.

In a lot of corporate work environments. It's not always obvious *what* we need from each other. People call meetings to try to figure out what they need. It can feel wasteful, but there's actually no good way around it. Figuring out why we're meeting is a superpower.
Cause here's the thing. Once you figure out why people need you, you can just give it to them without the meeting! Problem solved. In fact, that is actually what strong team collaboration looks like. Fewer meetings because everybody knows what needs to happen and does their part.
