15 Minutes or Less
One thing I’ve been really diligent about lately is making sure meetings stay at 15 minutes or less whenever possible.
Get in.
Get to the point.
Make the decision.
Move.
I think the default for a lot of people is still:
- 30-minute meeting
- 1-hour meeting
But I’ve been pushing hard against that.
Because if you let a meeting drag, it will drag.
And usually what happens is:
- too much talking
- not enough deciding
- momentum gets slowed down
- everyone leaves feeling “busy” but nothing really moved
I’d rather compress it.
What are we solving?
What decision needs to be made?
Who owns the next step?
Done.
That’s it.
Ed Mylett and Gary Vee both talked about this in different ways, and it really stuck with me — if something can be handled faster, handle it faster.
A meeting should create momentum, not eat it.
Now I’m looking at most meetings through this lens:
Could this have been 15 minutes?
And if the answer is yes, then next time it should be.
Less drag.
More movement.
Curious if anyone else has tightened up meeting time like this and noticed a difference.

For overworked service business owners. Install a simple operating system in 30 days so your day stops falling apart and get 5–10 hours a week back.
