"Don’t you just love meetings?"


A study by researchers at 3M shows that most employees wish meetings would just go away. They estimate that managers spend a day to a day-and-a-half each week in meetings. And they say most are wasted time.

So some major companies have declared no-meeting days, most on Fridays. And some have standing
meetings where participants literally stand and, according to research, as much gets done in fifteen minutes as is done in a two-hour sit-down meeting. At other companies, so much background work is done by email prior to the meeting that most matters are disposed of quickly.

The no-meeting day has been such a success that some folks are suggesting a no-email, no-memo, or a no-phone day.

But there’s one meeting you don’t want to miss, your daily meeting with God. In fact, with all this time you’re saving not going to other meetings, spend more time meeting with God. You see, it’s in meetings with God that you listen to life today for what God has to say.

I saw in the paper that some schools are considering going to a four day week. I think it is Utah that the whole state is going to a four day work week. If we cut out meetings and lose all structure at work we will end of in future generations of all of us working from home. Do you think we could take a vote on that today? Keep us your good work.
