1. Things To Keep In Mind

We work from 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM. That's the day. Respect it.
Break your day into 15-minute chunks. It helps you stay honest about where your time is going.
Meetings should be 30 minutes. If you really can't do it in 30, take 45 min. Never more. ( If it requires more time - Arrange a second meeting or take a break and then continue. )
Before you book any meeting, ask yourself honestly — does this actually need to be a meeting? Could a quick message or email sort it out? If yes, skip the meeting.
Every meeting needs four things before it happens.
- What's it about. ( Purpose or goal )
- What kind of meeting it is. ( ( Feedback, update, collaborations, Review & planning, etc. - Define It )
- Who actually needs to be there.
- What decision or next step everyone's walking away with.
After every meeting, write down what was decided and what happens next. Put it in the right folder. Do it the same day.
Give yourself at least 15 to 30 minutes between meetings. Don't stack them back to back.

2. How We Work With External Partners

No.	What It's Called	What's The Point	What Comes Out Of It	When	How Long	How Often
1.	Project Kickoff	At the start of every project, we get on a call to make sure everyone is fully aligned. You understand the brief, the timeline, the deliverables, and who does what.	No confusion about what's expected. Everyone starts on the same page.	At the start of every project	30 to 45 min	Every project
2.	Weekly Project Check-In	While a project is active, we check in once a week. Where are things, is anything stuck, does anything need a decision.	Nothing sits still waiting on someone. Problems get caught before they become delays.	Every Friday	20 to 30 min	Every week while the project is active
3.	External Team Performance Review	After every project, we take 30 minutes to honestly assess how it went. This isn't a formality. It's how we decide who we work with again.
