Meeting Tokens, for creating time scarcity
Merlin Mann | Oct 19 2007
My pal, Mike Monteiro, is making good on his idea to try giving his team Meeting Tokens.
Previously mentioned in this post about re-creating scarcity and, in more detail, in my IDEO talk. Can't wait to hear how it goes. I love me some scarcity. Update, 2007-10-19 10:18 PT: Mike says he's going to produce these as handsome wooden tokens that will soon be available for sale in sets on the Mule Feed Store. Update 2007-10-20 14:52 PT: Mike adds "The Red Merlin" to the mix.
I'm honored.

I think this is a great idea! I don't think the idea is to limit time but instead, to add a value to it. When there is value attached and a sense of scarcity, people will assess the importance of wasting someone's time before they do it. More productivity.. less wasted time! » POSTED IN:
