Meetings are the bane of productivity. But have you ever wondered why we adjourn meetings that are clearly going nowhere?
It's not just about avoiding small talk or the awkward silence. No, it's about applying the art of adjournment theory.
According to our research, the optimal adjournment time is between 3-5 minutes after the meeting's supposed end. This allows the attendees to regroup and reorient, much like a ship navigating through treacherous waters.
Of course, this theory is still in its infant stages. We're seeking more data, but for now, it's all about the art of timing.
