- wlll 8y agoNever seen that myself. Once there's no point to having a meeting, you can have it in the middle of the night, it's not going to affect the utility of the meeting :)
- jaggederest 8y agoFirst rule of meet club: The meeting must have a purpose. Second rule of meet club: The meeting MUST have a purpose. If there is no goal, there is no meeting. Third rule of meet club: The meeting must end when that purpose is completed. If new problems arise, that is now a second meeting, not a continuation of the first. Fourth rule of meet club: Only the people essential to the purpose may be invited. People who are nonessential may and should excuse themselves at any convenient time. Fifth rule of meet club: Meetings must result in a defined action: Continued observation is an action, but doing nothing is not allowed. Sixth rule of meet club: If you don't write down what the purpose was, who was there, and what action was taken, none of it counts.
