Take your hand off it

Can’t get people off their mobile phones?

Use them as part of your meetings.

Live online surveys are awesome, as it forces them to interact using their devices and they can’t check Instagram at the same time. Well, they can, but they’d be context switching and you all know that’s  a no-no now right? 

There’s a bunch out there, but Directpoll is free and seems to work well.

I sometimes also use planning poker apps instead of cards – There are some free ones out there – Scrum Poker cards has worked for me.
