Rule 47a
Rule 47a: Never schedule a meeting immediately before or after lunch.


This is obvious but I broke this one too. I had a meeting set for right after lunch. Noon came. I went out, got settled in over a chicken aioli sandwich, and relaxed. Until I relaized that I had ten minutes to run back to work, tear up to my office, finish the paperwork needed for the meeting, print, run out, up the stairs, and into the conference room. I'm surprised I didn't vomit over everyone.


Worse is that once I settled down and my heartrate returned to its usual semi-comatose state, I found myself falling asleep. That's bad, real bad. And to keep awake I started to think of things to keep me awake. Thinking led to dreaming and dreaming led to...WAKE UP!!! PAY ATTENTION!!!


It's safe to assume that scheduling a meeting right before lunch is just as bad. No one cares about what's going on. They're just watching the clock and nodding in agreement to whatever is being said. If you ever need anything approved then, yeah, schedule a meeting right before lunch. Just don't get caught yourself on the receiving end.
