How to enforce timeboxing?

Some tips and tricks:

• It all starts with radical transparancy. Make sure you share the goals of the meeting from the very start of the session. Right after the goal-setting, you share the set timebox (per agenda item). Use a timer to ensure each agenda item receives its allocated time. It also helps to display the countdown somewhere in the (virtual) meeting room.
• Make sure you include some spillover time for unforeseen items, discussions or events. If any unexpected events occur that result in time constraints, never go over a timebox, simply table unfinished items and schedule them for a later meeting.
• Don’t forget to book enough time for breaks and slack time.
