Very few meetings, only one recurring every two weeks and only because it’s in the contract, and no quiet hour interruptions. Everybody told me I’d never publish anything again once I become Chair, and not only am I publishing more, I picked up a second job as a translator. The secret is: no meetings, especially not on Zoom and definitely no recurring ones, no cc: threads, no soul-sucking busy work.
Everybody can do it but people are choosing not to.
