The responsibility of a meeting facilitator is to ensure the meeting progresses smoothly and achieves its predetermined objectives. For situations where there are interruptions or digressions, here are some suggested handling techniques:

1. Always Focus on the Meeting's Objective: Never hold meetings without a clear purpose, as it can lead people to engage in aimless chatter. You can add the purpose of each meeting in the [Description Area] to inform attendees in advance;

1. Clarify Needs: When discussing each topic, actively engage with the proposer to clarify needs and define the purpose. You can trigger the "Send Reminder" at the top -> "Clarify Needs" reminder card.

1. Set Agenda Timing: Allocate a specific amount of time for each agenda item. This helps participants stay focused on the current topic under the pressure of time, preventing aimless discussions.

1. Facilitator's Immediate Interruption: Any deviation from the topic is wasting everyone's time, and it's the facilitator's responsibility to maintain the order of the meeting. You can trigger the "Send Reminder" at the top -> "Off-topic Reminder" or "Talk Privately" reminder card.
