Do you need to postpone an upcoming meeting<\/a>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking for some practical time management tips to help you set things up the right way? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Postponing and rescheduling meetings is part of time management.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Things don’t always go as planned. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s why it’s important to know how to make changes to a schedule<\/a> when needed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it can be annoying to reschedule appointments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, sometimes it just needs to be done. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this post, you\u2019ll find a few tips to help you smoothly make the transition, without wasting too much time. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Communicate immediately.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Try your best to contact meeting attendees before they arrive to the meeting via phone, text or email. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, let them know as soon as they arrive at the meeting<\/a> location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either put up a sign stating the meeting has been cancelled, or have someone at the door or near the meeting area to update people as to the change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This way, people can adjust their schedules sooner rather than later and get on with their day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reschedule the meeting as soon as possible.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Reschedule the gathering as soon as possible. Preferably, this will be as soon as the meeting has been cancelled, or shortly thereafter, give or take a couple of hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You were probably holding the meeting in the first place because of some timely item. You most likely don\u2019t want to lose any of this momentum and anticipation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Check attendees\u2019 calendars and schedules for openings and be sure to reiterate the importance the meeting.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Send out new invitations and don\u2019t forget to mention this is a rescheduled meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You want to lessen any potential confusions or errors in advance, if at all possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Store meeting materials for the upcoming meeting.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Save some time<\/a> for yourself in future by properly editing and\/or storing the materials you prepared for your anticipated meeting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove any time sensitive documents, such as agendas and the like from a physical meeting location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gather meeting materials and place them in an easy to access location such as on a shelf, in a cabinet drawer or on a countertop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re using digital files<\/a>, be sure to file your materials in properly labeled folder with a clear digital file name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019ll be ready for the next meeting without spending your time<\/a> preparing materials once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
