Summary

Cam Daigle offers a three-type classification system for meetings: a survival mechanism, as he calls it, for staying sane in a meeting-dense work environment. The framework works as a forcing function — before scheduling or accepting a meeting, you categorize it, and the category determines how to prepare and what success looks like.

Topic-First Meeting Principle

Summary

The topic-first meeting principle from Remeet is simple to state: schedule a meeting only after a specific topic that warrants a verbal discussion has surfaced, rather than scheduling a meeting and then soliciting agenda items to fill it. This inverts the standard approach of recurring standing meetings where the slot exists first and the content is retrofitted.
