The 5 “Call Commands” That Keep Meetings Moving

Sometimes your call only needs a few short phrases to keep momentum:

1) “Time check.”

Use this at halftime to confirm priorities. Pair with a halftime alert so you don’t forget.

2) “Next segment.”

If you’re time-boxing topics, announce the switch as the reminder pops.

3) “Park it.”

A gentle way to move a tangent to a parking lot when the 10-min alert fires.

4) “Wrap - decisions, owners, dates.”

Say this at the 5-min cue and record outcomes.

5) “Follow-up, not overrun.”

When the overtime notification appears, propose a follow-up instead of extending.

How to set it up with Minute Minder

  • Open the web dashboard → Reminders → keep the default halftime, 10-min, 5-min, and overtime nudges, or create your own messages.
  • Optional: enable sound so the prompt is unmissable even while screen-sharing.

Configure your reminder copy once; reuse every call. Your “call commands” will feel natural because the cue arrives at the perfect moment.
