Long meetings

I hate long meetings. I hate meetings without an agenda. I hate meetings where an entire army sits in one place for hours on end, and each person only participates for 5-10 mins. There has to be a more efficient way to manage projects, and here is how.

1. Set an agenda with clear objectives, issues, time limits, and assignment of duties
2. Set clear times for each speaker
3. Enforce punctuality and punish tardiness
4. Time limit for decision making
5. Stick to the agenda
