Productivity Tips – How long do you wait for people?


how long do you wait for people so it’s
Thursday it’s my meeting day and I had a
great meeting that starbucks with an
entrepreneur got my soy smoothie right
here and then the second meeting I had
it back-to-back didn’t show up and that
happens every now and then and for
personal meetings face-to-face I gave a
15 minute buffer if I haven’t heard from
you and you don’t show up 15 minutes and
then I’m out I got other things to do so
I’m on my way back to have other
meetings and Google Hangouts and answer
emails and all that fun stuff if it’s a
phone call it’s usually five minutes so
what I’ll do is if I have a call I’ll
call the person so I’m always doing the
call and so I’ll call the person and if
they don’t answer i leave a voicemail so
I’ll come back in a couple minutes and
then i’ll call back in five minutes and
if they don’t answer again that’s it i
leave a message saying let’s set up
another time and then move on to other
stuff like maybe making a video like
this or doing other fun things with my
day so i’m curious to know how long you
wait for somebody either for a phone
meeting or for an in-person meeting I’ve
got my five-minute rule on the phone
15-minute rule in person let me know
