Script

Pixar’s conference rooms in 2007 hit ninety-three minutes per morning just on status updates-more than a full workday wasted each week. The change: all regular team meetings went standing-only. No chairs allowed, no laptops on the table, just a single itemized agenda taped to the door. Every person got one minute per update, and discussions ended at the ten-minute mark. UCLA’s 1999 study on standing meetings already showed they run 34% shorter without hurting decisions. By Friday, Pixar’s meeting tracker showed status talks averaging 11 minutes, clearing four hours off their calendar every week.
