In the last issue, \u201cZinc Sold<\/a><\/noindex>\u201d we discussed three articles about the efficiency of various processes. About \u201cBezos Turned Off PowerPoint<\/a><\/noindex>«, «The owner of one company demands to live five hours a day without distractions.<\/a><\/noindex>\" and \"Asynchronous communication of dualists.<\/a><\/noindex>«.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This article is a compilation of short summaries from all three, along with my subjective thoughts under the banner of universal frustration over inefficiency. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In the average company where I worked and work, all the problems that these guys are trying to solve are fully present.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/noindex><\/p>\n

About how Bezos turned off PowerPoint.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

As we are told, article<\/a><\/noindex>, comrade Bezos changed the rules of corporate meetings. Now colleagues gather and read silently for about half an hour after the meeting starts the records prepared by the speaker.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Then those who have nothing to add or are Informed (from the RACI matrix) can stand up and leave. Those who need to work with the proposals stay behind, ask questions, make suggestions, and schedule the next meetings.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In my opinion, this is a perfectly normal idea, as corporate meetings often waste time on \u201ccap\u201d questions and summaries from those who want to impress the management. Also, there are various light-hearted debates. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Another advantage of reading the doc silently is that some speakers may read slowly (or too quickly) or have various unpleasant speech defects.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I understand that implementing such radical changes to the meeting regulations is not an easy task, but I hope it plants a rational seed in the minds of those participating.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

A CEO who demands to work five hours a day without distractions.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The CEO of a German company recently admitted<\/a><\/noindex> started forcing people to work for five hours and banned them from being distracted by phones and social media during that time. People are in shock but have become happier and more productive.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He also mentioned that he had a similar experience before when he negotiated with his employer for a lower salary in exchange for two extra days off each week. After some time, noticing that he was completing the same amount of work as before, he negotiated with his employer to restore his previous salary level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nowadays, articles about startups and companies that adopt similar practices are increasingly common. I believe there is some rational truth in this, and if we consider the effective part of the workday, it's unlikely we work more than 6 hours. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Additionally, some companies have a \u201cculture of overtime,\u201d where, to show their dedication to the company, people \u201csit\u201d at work for 10 to 12 hours, or even more. With every extra hour, the average efficiency of such employees tends toward zero. Often, you can find them in the hall of fame for burnout.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Working less but more effectively is, in my opinion, a great trend that can free up several hours each week for interactions with those who truly matter to you (yourself and loved ones). <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Asynchronous communication of dualists.<\/h4>\n

<\/p>\n

The Doists are the folks from the company Doist, known for Todoist. Their CEO writes in an article \u201cAsynchronous Communication<\/a><\/noindex>\u201d about how they implemented this system in their company. There are several interesting points from it.<\/p>\n
