Jason Fried talking about, among other things, how meetings derail productivity. This proves especially true in small and freelance shops, where a couple of hours of lost time can really throw things off. I am trying to figure out how to best integrate the “as few meetings as possible” model into the design process while making sure clients still know they are getting our best and most productive work. Sometimes it seems that this desire to have meetings is kind of like the desire to fill up all the space on the page. It doesn’t make sense. It’s not necessary. But the perceived value of the service seems to have a direct correlation.
