Background

‘Work-about-work’ refers to all those pesky tasks that surround actual work, like unnecessary meetings, endless status updates, and hunting down information. These activities suck up our time, break our focus, and lead to burnout. According to Asana’s research, a whopping 60% of our work time is spent on ‘work-about-work’ instead of real work. Crazy, right?

The Problem

Standup meetings are a prime example of ‘work-about-work’. We’ve identified four main issues:

1. Coordination Chaos: Syncing meeting times across distributed teams, especially with different time zones, is a nightmare.

2. Inefficiency: Standup meetings often involve listening to updates that aren’t relevant to everyone, leading to wasted time.

3. Underutilized Insights: Valuable insights shared during meetings often fade away without proper follow-ups.

4. Tool Overload: Juggling multiple tools makes it hard to keep track of everything accurately.

Plus, treating standup meetings and task management as separate activities just adds to the chaos, e.g. more ‘work-about-work’!
