# All-day Meetings By:: [[Ross Jackson]] 2024-08-12 Within businesses, there is a phenomenon known as the all-day meeting. As the name implies, this meeting is scheduled to last the entire workday. Such a meeting is typically scheduled when those in charge of the organization are least sure what is going on and what to do. Such meetings do not account for the law of diminishing returns. There will be a great deal of wasted time in such meetings. It is likely more productive to schedule three thirty-minute meetings in the day than to conduct a marathon, eight-hour session. There are a variety of reasons that the all-day meeting exists. Almost none of those reasons have to do with productivity. #### Related Items [[Meetings]] [[Business]] [[Law of Diminishing Returns]] [[Waste]]
