告別無效會議7大設計原則
7 Principles for Designing Meetings that Get Things Done
別再召開沒人想參加的會議。相反地，應該像設計卓越產品一樣來設計會議。
Stop running meetings no one wants. Instead, design them like great products.

Principle 1
數量：削減你的會議債
VOLUME: Cut your meeting debt
會議就像技術債一樣，會不斷累積。你得有意識地消除會議債，才不會被它們耗盡你的時間、精力和理智。
Meetings can pile up like technical debt. Deliberately work to wipe out your meeting debt before it drains your time, energy, and sanity.

Principle 2
衡量：運用正確的指標
MEASUREMENT: Use the right metrics
無法衡量就無法改善，衡量方式錯誤也是如此。因此，必須制定有意義的衡量指標，確實反映會議的實際成效。
You can't fix what you don't measure or what is measured badly. Come up with meaningful measurements which reflect how effective your meetings are.

Principle 3
結構：成為極簡主義者
STRUCTURE: Become a minimalist
運用極簡策略（特別是「減半法則」）來精簡會議的議程、時間、參與者和頻率。
Use minimalist strategies (especially the Rule of Halves) to cut clutter from your meetings in terms of agenda, duration, attendees, and frequency.

Principle 4
流程：運用系統思考
FLOW: Apply systems thinking
大多數失敗的會議都是因為會議之外的溝通出了問題。標準化溝通工具，建立一個不需要開會也能運作的系統。
Most broken meetings are the result of broken communications outside the meeting. Standardize communication tools and build a system that doesn't need meetings.

Principle 5
參與：以使用者為中心的設計
ENGAGEMENT: User-centric design
務必確保你的會議是為與會者而開，而不只是為了滿足召集人的需求。把那些消耗能量的常見問題徹底消除。
Make sure your meetings serve the people in the room, and not just the person who schedules them. Squash the usual energy-sucking bugs.

Principle 6
時機：找到你的節奏
TIMING: Find your rhythm
最有效率的會議能與團隊的自然工作節奏同步，而不是打斷它。讓會議與整體工作流程協調一致。
The best meetings sync with your team's natural flow of work rather than interrupting the flow. Align meetings with overall flow.

Principle 7
科技：創新與迭代
TECHNOLOGY: Innovate ＆ iterate
永遠把你的會議當作仍在測試階段的產品，必須持續升級與完善。擁抱能幫助你做到這件事的科技。
Always treat your meetings like a product in beta which needs constant upgrading and refining. Embrace technology that helps you do that.

Running Meetings That Actually Matter
會議切忌會而不議、議而不決、決而不行，這樣的會議其實可以不用開。
The three biggest meeting killers: discussing without concluding, deciding without committing, and committing without following through. If your meetings keep falling into these traps, you're probably better off not having them at all.
