About This Quote

If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be 'meetings.' If you’re finding this hard to believe, it’s because we’ve all been conditioned to think meetings are necessary and helpful. But they’re not. Meetings represent a constant source of stress and anxiety. They drain our energy and take our focus away from what we really should be doing: working on ourselves, improving our skills, exercising our creativity, or achieving something big. If you really want to make a difference in your life, you need to ban all meetings from your calendar for as long as possible.
