How it works
Work this or that questions open a meeting in under a minute: two options, one vote each, and the card shows how the team split. This deck has 86 pairs in 7 groups, from Camera on or camera off to Start the draft or edit the draft. Every pair is about the working day, never pay or rank.

Run a round on a shared screen
Share your screen with the card up and read both options aloud. In a room, count hands and press a side once per hand. On a call, everyone types A or B in the chat at the same moment, so nobody copies the first answer. Next question swaps a pair that does not fit.
One pair a week in the team chat
Post a pair as a two-option poll on Monday: Desk lunch or lunch walk. On Friday, read out the split and ask one person from the smaller side why. Meetings (14 pairs) and Email and messages (12) give a team something to act on, such as Agenda in advance or open discussion. Home days and office days (10) suits a hybrid team.
- New team? Open on Easy, 26 quick preferences such as Mouse or trackpad. The 21 Hard pairs are habits people defend: Inbox at zero or inbox of thousands.
- Treat a lopsided split as a request. If the room picks Meetings in one block over Meetings spread out, from The working day (14 pairs), write it down.
- Three pairs is plenty before an agenda. No pair comes up twice in one sitting, and Start over puts all 86 back in play.
Questions and answers
What keeps these this or that questions safe for work?
Every pair stays on the job. The deck was read against the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's page on prohibited practices at eeoc.gov. No card asks about any characteristic it lists, among them race, religion, sex, national origin, age and disability. None asks about pay, health or family. That is an editing choice, not legal advice.
Do these work as either or questions in a team channel?
Yes. Some teams call them either or questions and run one as a weekly poll. All 86 sit under the deck, under the same 7 headings as the topics. The list is original to this site, so paste any pair into a poll or a slide.
Where do the votes go?
They stay on this phone or computer. Votes are not sent anywhere, so the host's screen is the only scoreboard. A pair keeps its count between sittings, so a second team's votes add to the first.
