Why this helps
Executive dysfunction makes it hard to prepare for meetings in advance. You often show up mentally scattered, fumbling for context, or missing key prep steps. A last-minute scramble before each call drains your energy.
- Automatic reminder 30 minutes before each meeting
- Structured prep template reduces decision fatigue
- Catch prep needs early instead of scrambling at start time
- Consistent preparation across all meetings
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 3Set up a prep sheet with columns for event name, attendees, meeting link, and prep tasks (or let Notis suggest a template)
- 4Choose Slack, email, or WhatsApp for notifications
- 5Test by scheduling a meeting 35 minutes from now
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the prep checklist items for different meeting types?
Yes. Tell Notis what prep items matter for different meetings—e.g., 'For client calls add: review recent emails, check contract status, prepare pricing update.'
What if I have back-to-back meetings?
Notis will create a prep row for each meeting. You'll get alerts 30 minutes before each one, so you can prioritize or batch them.
Can I change the timing from 30 minutes to something else?
Absolutely. Just ask Notis to adjust the timing—'15 minutes before' or '1 hour before', whatever gives you the prep time you need.
Will the prep list update if the meeting details change?
Notis will generate a new prep row based on the most current event details at the 30-minute mark.
