About this routine

Gary Vaynerchuk's meeting routine is built on micro-calendar blocks managed by his executive team. Rather than standard half-hour time slots, discussions are capped at three, five, or seven minutes to force immediate clarity and eliminate fluff.

During these sessions, attendees must present the core problem or opportunity right away. Decisions are made on the spot without deferring to follow-up meetings, while a team member captures key takeaways or video clips for content creation.

This 35-minute block demonstrates how compressing discussion windows increases focus and decision velocity across a full business day.

Why this routine works
