Having clear objectives, staying focused on the topic, and keeping meetings short are important for effective meetings. Meetings should have a concrete goal and agenda outlined. Discussions should stay on topic to define action items rather than allowing unrelated stories. Attention spans tend to drop off after 30 minutes, so meetings are best kept to under an hour to maintain engagement and productivity.

3. Clear Objective
Its very impotant to have a clear bbjective If you’re unsure what you’re
trying to accomplish, you can be sure it won’t happen. The number one
factor for a successful meeting is having a clear goal and a concrete
agenda.
Entrepreneur and influencer Neil Patel says he refuses to have a meeting
simply for the sake of having a meeting. “No purpose, no meeting.”
Start with the goal, and you’ll finish with success.

4. Don’t Lose Focus
For some reason, at every meeting, there seems to be that one person
who tends to go off telling stories not connected to the discussed topic in
any way. And while storytelling is not generally bad (quite the opposite, to
be exact!), an off-topic talk at a meeting can really drag the session.
When a meeting has a clear focus, it’s much easier to set concrete action
steps and follow up. If you got to the end of the meeting without having
actionable next steps, the meeting should be considered wasted time.

5. Keep Your Meetings Short
Having short meetings is an essential component to improving your
team’s efficiency. An agenda tends to expand to whatever time limit is set
for a particular meeting, so feel free to give your meetings a “hard stop”
whenever it feels right.
It’s very likely that 30 minutes into the meeting, your team’s attention is
not a sharp as at the beginning. 52 minutes is generally the longest time
workers can remain truly engaged.
