Cancel meetings.
Build the habit of reviewing your upcoming calendar and searching for opportunities to cancel meetings. This could mean you simply postpone work or assign it to be done in a different way — one that doesn’t require calling people together at a specified time.
Canceling a meeting gives people one of the most precious gifts in a busy professional environment: found time. It also reminds others that an asynchronous approach is a perfectly good option for some tasks or meetings.
