Do you believe in setting guidelines for meetings? Or are they bureaucracy?

We do believe in them, so we're live with our product Meeting Guidelines! You can support the launch here https://www.producthunt.com/post... Others that believe: Take Netflix, they have a "No Rules" culture and still, they have meeting guidelines. Elon Musk has guidelines as well for Spacex and Tesla, such as avoid large meeting and don't hold recurrent ones. The most famous right now may be Shopify, who claim that meetings are a bug and if you need them it's because some API is missing. What do you think?

Advice from a solopreneur 🤔

Hey PH! I'm sharing some advice after having done some field research. For the past 5 years I've been working solo from home, and let me tell you... It's been a long journey! After 4 years I decided to find a success partner, someone who will keep me accountable throughout the weeks so I don't waste any more precious time. And wow... this might sounds extreme, but this might be the best decision I've made in these past 5 years. The amount of work I'm able to do with a success partner is insane! But apparently the term accountability partner or succespartner isn't very well known... So from a solopreneur to another, go find yourself an accountability/success partner and let me know how it goes! What are your thoughts on this topic?
