This is a simple trick to claim back potentially hours a week. Simply create a short video using your phone or a camera introducing yourself and your background and work, and invite people you are about to meet the first time to view the video beforehand. Then when you meet shorten the meeting down to 45 minutes instead of an hour.

With existing team members or people you already know, you can also reduce by a further 15 minutes to 30 minutes for catch up sessions. When you add these savings up per person they can represent tens if not hundreds of hours saved a month across multiple attendees per organisation, and you can free up to 2 to 3 or more hours personally a week.

One of the challenges of hybrid working is the inability to easily meet new people because video conferencing prioritises one speaker at a time. By using technologies such as virbela and framevr and others coming onto the market, which use spatial audio, you can start to cowork virtually, and invite people to meet you and others in the same virtual spaces or metaverses in the breaks. This can allow you to limit meetings to encounters for 5 to 15 minutes at a time, or if the conversation is fruitful to much longer than the typical 45 minute to 60 slot meetings people often organise in person or by video. Working together with others even virtually, can also be combined with applying productivity techniques together to implement and practice more restful working in community.
