Face to face agenda times

Hi,

I have a question and a suggestion…

The question is what time we finish the meeting in the evenings. I have to organise a teleconference as soon as possible after the meeting on Monday, so this is useful to know.

The suggestion is that we limit the meeting to 1-hour blocks, with at least a 10-minute break between them. 

My long experience is that it is often difficult for people to concentrate hard for much longer than that. Conversely I have found that short focused bursts help people to really focus on the topic. 

They also allow people to ignore a particular topic and do something else, then come back for the next one and focus. This is better than having people half-focused on something else and missing things they did care about.

cheers
