Change default meeting length in Outlook - Avoid Back-to-Back meetings!
We give the following advice in our VP's blog post -
"schedule meetings to conclude five minutes before the end of the hour or half hour. This shortens your time together slightly but goes a long way towards avoiding potential burnout from uninterrupted back-to-backs."
This is now really easy!
In Outlook:
- File -> Options -> Calendar
- "End meeting early"
Your meetings are now 50 and 25 minutes long - by default, no need to set it manually. Not sure when it showed up in the options but my team is using it and it really helps.

karlvAre you on Outlook O365 App on Win10 or Online ?
I can't see this option in neither of them ...
Also I'm in France so maybe it's a time zone thing ?

GuillaumeG59 I'm on O365 using Outlook.
This can be done by going to Outlook Settings in O365. It is in the shape of a gear on the upper right corner of your Outlook page.
A side bar should expand on the right side. Look towards the bottom of the new side bar and click the link "View All Outlook Settings"
Select Calendar
Events and Invitations View
Click the check box to "End Meetings and appointments early.
