At Meetupcall we're all about running our business in an efficient, effective and socially responsible manner, and we like to help other businesses do the same sothis blog will include articles on technology, green issues, corporate social responsibility, productivity tips and anything else that interests us.
We consider Meetupcall to be a pretty useful tool for aiding productivity. Not having to get up from your desk (or even actually stop working) and go to a meeting saves time. Conference calls are a productive way to discuss work with colleagues, suppliers or customers without all the ancillary stuff that comes with a regular meeting. With that in mind I thought it might be useful to list a couple of other great productivity tools that I like:
Dropbox - This has been a favourite of mine for a while now. Once installed Dropbox creates a special folder on your PC or Mac into which any files you place will be automatically synced over the internet back to Dropbox’s servers. Not only does this provide a great backup function for your important files, but any other machine you have Dropbox installed on can now access these same files. This is invaluable, if like me, you use 4 or 5 different devices throughout the course of a week. You can even share folders with other Dropbox users to create your own virtual small scale file server. The iPhone / iPad apps mean you can also reference all your files on the go. Need more space and you can buy it or you get 2Gb storage for free and additional 250mb for any referrals, so please click the link above and sign up!
Meetings are a waste of time. Here's why:
What makes them the biggest waste of time though is the fact they are scheduled in 30 minute or one hour chunks, because that's how the scheduling software works.
