I have found the solution to Meeting Hell, more holidays. Yesterday (Labor Day) was great because there were no meetings. It was also excellent, because meetings were already being cancelled, due to the long weekend.
This event got me thinking. Why should a meeting be cancelled, due to the long weekend? The difference is only one work day. If the work week was cut down to 4 days, would we have the same amount of meetings or would that number go down?
I have had people ask me to post more often on this topic. So my goal is to post one of these every work day.
There are some good stories in my comments that I plan to elevate into full posts. So please keep the comments coming or email me. Also let me know what you like or don't like.
