Meetings can be very useful for getting people together to discuss an issue or topic. However, meetings often waste a lot of time and energy on unproductive activities that don’t really help anyone. If you want your meetings to be more productive, here are four things you can do:

1) Start the meeting on time.

2) Keep everyone focused by using timers or other methods of keeping track of how much time is used on each point.

3) Use agendas to make sure important topics get discussed but avoid wasting time with tangents and unrelated issues.

4) Be willing to end the meeting early if it’s not needed anymore!
