I watch news (and everything else) on YouTube at 2x speed to keep the information density high enough to be worthwhile. Once you get used to it, regular media becomes less tolerable because everyone is talking too slow.
Where possible you want everyone to be well informed on the way in, at least about the current situation and the obvious proposals. This gives people time to digest the information and maybe even suggest their own proposals.
Then there's two types of meetings.
* Leadership communication meetings (quick review to make sure everyone understands how important the data they already knew about is / cement context).
* Brainstorming meetings (figure out a plan / pathfinding)
The 2x speed will only keep your brain preoccupied enough not to notice the relevant information is missing or made very shallow... getting the same slop in half the time won't solve the problem.
