To ensure that deliverables are assigned, if you’re running the meeting you can formally set the final meeting agenda item to be something like “assign deliverables”. If you’re not running the meeting, you can suggest having this final agenda item to the meeting organizer at the meeting’s outset or even as the meeting begins to wrap up.

In September 2016, Konrad Kopczynski — who happened to be the guest on episode #465 of the SuperDataScience podcast — introduced me to the idea of daily habit tracking.
I appreciate that it’s easy to throw around an expression like “life-changing”, but tracking my habits every day really has been a dramatically life-changing experience.
