Find and fix your worst recurring meetings
Kill One Meeting shows you which recurring meetings burn the most team time, collects quick 1–5 feedback from your team, and guides you to make one small calendar change each month – then tracks the hours you get back.
Works with Google Calendar · Slack optional
Google Calendar is read-only – you stay in full control of your events.
Built for product & engineering teams
Why this is hard to fix
The calendar fills up silently and nobody owns a repeatable clean-up loop.
Invisible time cost
Recurring meetings hide their burn rate (duration × attendees × frequency).
Social friction
Calling a meeting “low-value” feels political, so bad habits stay.
No signal from the team
Without quick ratings, you only hear from the loudest voices.
No monthly cadence
Cleanup happens ad-hoc, so the calendar gains the weight back.

Make the cost visible
We identify recurring meetings and calculate their real cost: team hours per month = duration × attendees × occurrences.
Listen to the team
After selected meetings, attendees get a quick 1–5 rating request via Slack DM (or email links as fallback). It takes a few seconds to answer.
Prioritise the worst offenders
Kill One Meeting ranks your recurring meetings by time cost and average rating, so your worst offenders float to the top automatically.
Run one small experiment per month
Each month, we guide the team lead to pick at least one high-impact meeting and choose an experiment: cancel, shorten, bi-weekly, reduce attendees or move async. You apply the change in Google Calendar in seconds; Kill One Meeting does the tracking.
Measure hours saved and repeat
For every experiment, we estimate hours saved with a simple, transparent formula: saved hours = duration × reduced attendees or occurrences. Share the story with your stakeholders and repeat next month.
What you’ll have after 30 days

Worst meetings ranking
Kill One Meeting combines team time cost and average rating to highlight the worst recurring meetings in your calendar – the ones burning the most hours for the least value.
Monthly experiment engine

Hours-saved estimation
For every experiment, we estimate hours saved with a simple, transparent formula: saved hours = duration × reduced attendees or occurrences.
