Audit my recurring meetings
List every recurring meeting on your calendar with attendees, time cost, and last-time-anything-decided.
The prompt
Audit my recurring meetings. Which ones should I kill?
Recurring meetings are calendar inertia: they were created for a reason that may no longer exist. alfred_ surfaces the audit so you can act on the data.
What alfred_ does
- Lists every recurring meeting with: cadence, duration, attendees, your annual time cost
- Cross-references with notes and tasks to estimate “last meaningful output”
- Flags candidates for cancellation, shortening, or attendee reduction
- Optionally drafts the cancellation note to the organizer
Tips
- Use the meeting cost calculator first: knowing a weekly 30-min meeting with 8 people costs $15K/year reframes the decision
- Audit quarterly: cadence keeps the list short and trustworthy
- Pair with action: “Audit my recurring meetings. Kill the 3 lowest-output ones, draft the cancellations.”
