Is your to-do list overflowing? How much time do you spend on meaningless tasks every day? If it feels like you’re burning the wick at both ends, Change Management Speaker Robert Sutton encourages the use of subtractive change. 

Subtractive change means cutting back wherever possible and simplifying processes. Think fewer and shorter emails, reducing the length and frequency of meetings, and challenging time-consuming processes that are established in your organization. 

Robert Sutton advises when it comes to meetings, “try the rule of halves on frequency, length and invitee list. And, for good measure, create a halftime check, when people who realize they will not get or add anything are encouraged to leave.”

Read on for more examples of subtractive change and ways you can save time and stress at work.
