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.”
