In the past when I had a bit rougher edges I often asked after 30 minutes in a meeting face-to-face why we were in that meeting still; was there anything to discuss we didn&#x27;t discuss in the first 5 minutes? The answer was almost always no. People with these face-to-face urges and (too long) meeting urges usually just want a break from work (but paid) and&#x2F;or social interaction. I like that as well, but we have bars &amp; restaurants etc for that, not the office. I rather work flat out (focused and organized) for 4 hours and then take off or go to a bar or take a walk for the &#x27;meeting&#x27; instead of loitering in the office for 8 hours and commute for 2.
