1) is a great advise that I think I can make use of, same for 2).

For 5) I feel it is hard. Often there are expectations that you join meetings just in case a higher-up manager needs a piece of information or I am afraid to loose out on critical information. Do you, in your organization, have an active meeting culture with feedback for meetings? It feels to me that in my organization too often when a conflict, next steps or any other decision is needed, instead of writing about it people just schedule meetings to discuss things. And then there are meetings where people just share information ("team meetings") that could be shared in writing much more efficiently (people read faster than others talk, so reading information is often more efficient from my point of view).

The general theme of my advice is that communicating in a clear, precise, and reproducible manner (reproducible meaning where someone can back-brief what you just said and get it right) is one of the most important things to learn/know how to do if you work in tech - or any industry, really, but Tech in particular. I didn't come from a technical background, unless you count math, and that has been the go-to advice I give people because it does two things: 1) it builds up your own confidence in what you're saying as well as others' confidence in you, and 2) you will actually end up learning more about the subject as you strive to be evermore accurate in what you're saying.

If English is not your first language, then this advice is doubly important because it will help you improve.

Edit: sorry, I didn't actually answer your question.

>Do you, in your organization, have an active meeting culture with feedback for meetings?

Yes, but I'm a little more senior now and I think focusing on the feedback mechanism itself is missing the forest for the trees. Communication is always King, wherever you go. It seems like, from your description of the situation, you have a great opportunity to improve the communication within your organization overall, if people are still reverting to "just schedule a meeting".
