When you next have an office meeting – do it standing up. People with disabilities and minute takers can, of course, be seated if necessary.

Standing for meetings helps concentrate the mind and makes sure that people don’t talk for too long (with too many papers). If a meeting becomes longer than it is comfortable to stand, take a 15 minute break (to sit down) or reconvene the meeting at a later date.

Easyjet have their meetings standing up, and it doesn’t seem to have done them any harm.

Welcome to the New Normal! It might be less fun than the old economic stability we’ve all grown so used to, but there’ll be opportunities too.

Graham was attending an event hosted by: LondonHR. The guest speaker was Jackie Orme, Chief Executive of the CIPD

Jack Butler, founder of Future Foundations is one of the most motivated and focussed people I know! Jack asked me in to talk about getting your inbox to zero, GTD and our How to Get Things Done workshop as part of their learning lunches series and I was only too happy to oblige. I also used it as an opportunity to talk to Jack about some of his own work processes: daily huddles, batching meetings and other tips and tricks that Jack uses to keep him and his team motivated, happy and on top of their game. Jack mentions the Verne Harnish daily huddle process here. We have started using that with Think Productive, and you can find out more info in his book, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits
