Do you find yourself being super productive during the few minutes before a scheduled Zoom meeting?

1 Answer

Answer :

Actually, often I am very productive. I hadn’t thought about it until now. Put a load of laundry in the washer, clean the kitchen, or Swiffer the floor, or some sort of 15 minute task. Sometimes I log in, no video, and then get dressed and pull my hair back into a ponytail to be presentable. A lot of my zooms start at 10:00am and half the time I’m still in my pajamas. Forces me to get my act together. Then after the zoom I do some exercise or do a curbside pick-up, and then take my shower after. If the zoom has people I haven’t seen in a while, and everyone is chatting, then sometimes I socialize with them before the meeting starts. I like that a lot.
