The more I think about it and experience it, setup time is something to minimize. Any complicated task requires setup time to get you into the task. Any time that is interrupted, you have to go through some level of setup again.
One key to getting work done is to arrange blocks of uninterrupted time. This allows you to complete setup and focus on productive work.
This brings up several questions:
- Why don’t we block out time to get work done?
- What criteria do you use to decide when to have a meeting and who to invite? Does respecting work time play into it?
- Can’t we say no to a meeting in order to get work done?
Multi-tasking works against productivity too. You may look busy, but you probably aren’t accomplishing much.
