The Liz Moody Podcast · How To Work Less This Summer (And Still Get MORE Done) · 22 Jul 2026 podcast

Like every day or every other day, we have a 45 minute meeting.

We all get on the same Zoom room or whatever.

And we just go through that list one by one.

Okay, what about this?

You're going to do this.

What do you need?

When do you need it by?

Okay, I will get to that to you by this day.

Okay, this thing, who's going to do this?

What do you need?

And what you've done there

is in this 45 minute meeting, you've stopped dozens of ad hoc back and forth communication messages, right?

You've significantly reduced the number of non-scheduled messages that are gonna require reply because we're trying to figure this thing out back and forth, interaction.

if we can move it to individual office hours, like if I have a question for Liz that requires more than a one message response, she has office hours, 30 minutes, I just pick up the phone.

Hey, okay, I want to get your opinion about this.

So you're moving more of this inner human communication off of unscheduled digital messages

and into other types of modes.

Or if it's work that we can come up with a process for this work where we don't have to send emails back and forth.

It's by close of business on Wednesday, the draft of all the social posts are in this document, in the Dropbox.

I add my comments by noon on Thursday, and then the designer takes those and does the final mock-ups and posts them.
