In this episode of Beyond the Feature, I discuss the challenges of disorganization in the workplace and introduces the 'Single Source of Truth' rule as a solution. I emphasize the importance of creating a designated home for important work to reduce searching and improve workflow efficiency. The episode outlines practical steps to implement this rule, including the 'Three Homes Model' for organizing projects, files, and tracking tasks. I also highlight the role of tools like Copilot in enhancing productivity once a solid organizational structure is in place.

In this episode, I talk about something we all deal with: meetings that feel productive in the moment but never actually lead to real work afterward. I walk through a simple approach I use called the 24 Hour Rule. The idea is that if a meeting matters, you should come out of it within a day knowing four things: the decision that was made, who owns what, the next step, and where all of it lives so people can find it later.

By the end of the episode, the main message is clear. Meetings should produce work, not more meetings. Try the 24 Hour Rule once and you can feel the difference right away.
