Love that, much wow!
(comments can also be short)

You can also help make short meetings happen by saying, "I'd love to talk about X. I think it'll probably take about 15 minutes, but I'm happy to meet for the default half hour if we find we have more to talk about!"

HOWEVER if you offer a shorter meeting like this, make sure you do actually give your interlocutor a chance to gracefully exit after 15 minutes. They'll be grateful you kept to your word!

I opened this to make sure the length estimate was short, discovered it was short, and couldn't help reading it.

I think I learned something.

This is hilarious. I would in addition love a full article on how to best write the summary and the epistemic thesis/effort etc. at the top of forum posts...pictures would be preferred

I agree. I had a few meetings where both parties politely agreed it could be cut short, and I was very grateful every time.

A thing I say to cut meetings short, when I think that would make sense:

I was hoping to [take a break / grab a drink / send some messages] before my next meeting. Was there more you wanted to [ask / say] or do you mind if we cut it a bit short?

This actually happened  to me as well!

Both parties agreed the meeting's goals were accomplished and we continued with our EAG

Epistemic Status: We tried this once. 

And technically this meeting did take the entire allotted time, because we wrote the post. 🤷‍♂️
