This is the Best Time to Hold a Meeting

October 21, 2009

 

I read a story this morning that reminded me of my days working in a physical office with other colleagues.  There’s an interesting tidbit about the best time to call a meeting … it’s 3pm on Tuesday.  Here’s why.

“A meeting? First thing on Monday? For many office workers that’s a little early, an intrusion into time reserved for a hurried coffee, checking e-mails, steeling yourself for the working week, and, well, getting stuck into some actual work.

But by 3pm, the day is well under way, and many staff are better able to take the change of pace and focus that a meeting can bring. Begin any later, and wage earners will start to clock-watch.

A new study says 3pm on Tuesday is the best time to call a meeting as most prospective attendees will be free. The hour in question is an office diary sweet spot – representing a confluence of employee availability, motivation and willingness, say those responsible for the finding.”

Hello Again!

September 17, 2009

I’ve been Missing In Action lately because my baby boy started preschool earlier this month.  It’s taken a couple of weeks to get him settled into his new schedule, but I think we, and yes I mean “we”, are finally back in a good groove with school, work, and home.  Check back in the next few days for new, fun Work At Home Safari blog posts and articles.  :-)

I hope you’re having a great day and happy reading!

P.S.  To the woman who wrote me about submitting a guest post about starting a cleaning company, please write me again either using the Contact Form on the bottom right hand corner of this blog post or submit a comment.  Somehow your information got lost in cyberspace right after I read it.
