Tungle is fast, efficient, simple, intelligent, etc. But what it really boils down to, is time saved.
When scheduling our weeks, we factor in time we’ll spend in meetings, preparing for meetings and closing meetings, but rarely the time we’ll spend scheduling meetings. And yet, our research shows that it takes an average of 7 communications to book one meeting.
Let’s see how much time that is:
Each communication takes about 3 minutes – writing an email, replying, dialling the phone, etc. 7 communications x 3 minutes = 21 minutes to book one meeting. If you have one meeting a day, that’s just under 2 hours (1.75 to be exact) every week on scheduling.
With Tungle, it takes an average of just 1.6 communications to book a meeting. At 3 minutes per communication, that’s just 4.8 minutes. Subtract that from the pre-Tungle way, and you’re saving 16.2 minutes with every meeting, just by using Tungle.
That’s over an hour saved (81 minutes) each week.
Here are some things you could do with an extra 81 minutes in your week:
- Reply to 40 emails (giving yourself 2 mins for each)
- Return 16 phone calls (giving yourself 5 mins for each)
- Plan your to-do list for the following week
- Organize your desk drawers
- Start your Christmas shopping early (or am I the only one who does that?)
- Learn a new language
- Clean up your filing system
- Burn up to 1,472 calories
- Ride a bike
- Overhaul your resume
- Manage your finances
- Tell jokes
- Read a book
- Take a long lunch
- Outline 3 new ideas to bring to your next team meeting
- Close your email, unplug the phone, turn off the BlackBerry and breathe (hey, you would’ve been busy and unreachable during that time anyway, right?)
- Get a pedicure (just me again?)
- Leave early on Friday (now I know that’s not just me)
And that’s just if you schedule one meeting a day. If you schedule 2, 3 or more meetings per day, just think of all the time you’ll save! Now if only Oprah would do the math too...
