How to Improve Time Management: 10+ Proven Tips | Fellow.app
Ready to start understanding how to improve time management skills? Consider implementing these 11 best practices to get started.
Meeting Guidelines
Plus, we all know that meetings with too many people can cause meetings to go overtime. Fellow’s <anchor>Meeting Guidelines</anchor> feature set helps you ensure only the most essential attendees are in your meetings. If a meeting has more than 7 attendees, Fellow will send the meeting organizer a prompt to remove additional attendees, or mark them as optional. Fellow also helps you reclaim time in your day with no meeting days. The best and easiest way to implement a no meeting day is by using a tool that has the functionality already baked in. As part of the Meeting Guidelines feature set, Fellow enables company leaders to set a no meeting day for their organization, so that any time someone tries to schedule a meeting on that day, they will be automatically prompted to find another time.

## Enable thoughtful meeting creation

Ensure all meetings are high-value by getting your team to think consciously about the cost of a meeting. Meeting Guidelines provide a built- [in meeting](https://fellow.app/blog/meetings/at-the-meeting-vs-in-the-meeting-everything-you-need-to-know/) cost calculator based on median wage, limits on attendees, and limits on meeting recurrence so meeting organizers can reflect and rightsize every meeting.

## Boost meeting engagement

Make the most of everyone’s time spent in meetings by ensuring everyone is prepared to contribute. Meeting organizers are prompted to book meetings with a defined purpose and sufficient notice to set the stage for a productive and energizing meeting for all.

[Request a demo](https://fellow.app/pricing/request-a-demo/)

## Make room for deep work and execution

Relieve meeting overload by baking in no meeting days and breaks between meetings so your team can show up on-time and ready to contribute! Then set a maximum number of meeting hours/week, creating more time for focus and execution.
