The prompt

Here are my meetings for the coming week: . My work is really judged on . Put one test to each meeting: what would be missing if I weren’t in the room? Where the title doesn’t tell you, ask me, up to four questions, one at a time. Then give every meeting one verdict in a table: keep, shorten, handle in writing, or decline, with a one-line reason and the time I’d get back. You don’t know my workplace, so mark as a guess any verdict that depends on politics or on who called the meeting. Add up the hours returned, and draft a short, friendly message declining the one you’re most sure about.
