I've been looking for something like this for a long time. Thank you for sharing! I especially like point number 2. It reduces the amount of meetings I have SIGNIFICANTLY.
We're talking about a meeting that wasn't a recurring event, so at least the person setting it up had an intention of getting something out of it. If there's no output, it's more productive to understand why it failed than to stick to or try to enforce a random guideline.
Perhaps there's just too many conflicting interests and someone has to take the lead. Perhaps nobody actually knew what was going on and the whole meeting was spent getting up to speed (funnily enough, prepared agendas often won't help for fundamental misunderstandings). Perhaps there was no output to expect in the first place and the person setting up the meeting lost their way.
You'll improve/reduce meetings by looking back at these failed attempts and act on the findings. If your team can't do that, they won't be in a position to properly understand and follow a guideline either IMHO.
That rule does have a lot of potential for abuse if not used right. A common way is "the decision is that we need to have another meeting about this later".
I still use my iPad Pro 9.7 inch to take notes using Notability. It's useful for just getting thoughts down, keeping my notes digital, and being able to essentially both notebook and books in one device. I absolutely love it!
Personally, Notability has been my daily driver. Sometimes I'll use Nebo but now with the Apple Scribble feature, I find myself just writing into the text boxes manually.
I've been using the iPad + Pencil since late 2016 and haven't looked back ever since. I also prefer the Pencil over glass. The matte screen protector felt nice but degraded the screen visibility enough to be annoying.
I did not use Paperlike. I used a generic matte screen protector off of Amazon. I had used the matte screen protector for a year and then took it off and got used to the glass feel.
It's a fun way to interact, laugh, and find out who says they can't draw but can actually draw.
We play with about 8 people, sometimes others join in to just watch or we take turns.
Honestly, skribbl has been the closest thing to in-person interactions we have had in a long time.
I created the weekly 1-hour coffee break meeting on our calendars @ 3pm local time. Usually water-cooler talk, sometimes video games for the laughs.
The problem mostly lies in other people not wanting to learn. Anecdotally, I've found that people come to me with Excel questions because they want me to do something for them, not because they are generally interested in learning more or bettering their skills.
