What is the hardest part about having a work meeting?

Context switching

Poorly set agendas pre meeting and actions not being sent out post meeting. Both are basic but help to avoid most of the pain points of meetings

Unclear actions/next steps decided in the meeting and then having to chase people to do them. We built http://meetric.app/ to fix that - we're in closed beta and looking for beta testers (offering free 90 days account).

FindEmailAddress provides e-mail recognition and authentication as a two-step process, as well as e-mail tracking capabilities that other tools lack. In addition, FindEmailAddress helps you to check for companies and contacts based on the technologies they use, such as an operating system or payment network. This focused emphasis makes it a perfect framework for salespeople and advertisers trying to reach particular consumers of a product or service.

Definitely trying to get your message across when there's not much organization in the meeting.

Having to have to do it over video. I think so many meetings could be over the phone.

handling conflicts when none of us have spent enough time on prior research. It comes down to the ego of the people in the meeting and never fun to see egos clash. A partial solution is to create an environment where all ideas are presented as hypothesis that can welcome criticism and praise and detach personal reputation from them. It's hard to implement in practice. However, a team can certainly work towards it. Thoughts welcome!

Too many people talking and locked in one place !! Prefer the Remo Virtual Office

It's tough to get invited to meetings that could have been an email. Folks ought to master the art of writing a message and sending screen recordings.

I think being in meeting without a clear agenda can be hard! It just sets your meeting up to be inefficient and unfocused.
