Adjournment Theory 101: Because 5 Meetings Wasn't Enough

Meetings. The bane of our productivity. The scourge of our sanity. We've all been there: the pointless discussions, the unnecessary adjournments, the existential crises sparked by a single "action item." But what if we told you there's a better way? Introducing Adjournment Theory: because 5 meetings wasn't enough.

What is Adjournment Theory?

An unorthodox approach to meeting design, where you schedule not one, not two, not three, not four, but FIVE meetings to discuss the same topic, with the express purpose of driving yourself slowly, but inevitably, mad.

Key Principles of Adjournment Theory:

• Meetings are a never-ending cycle of existential dread and pointless coffee breaks.
• A meeting is not a meeting until it's been scheduled, rescheduled, and rescheduled again.
• Every meeting should have at least one "Action Item 6" to keep things interesting.
• Adjournment is a fundamental right, not a privilege.
• You can't have too many meetings, but you can never have too much coffee.
