Asbed's Law of Important Events in Meetings

The simple statement of this important law is:
Everything important in a meeting happens between the time you leave it and before it ends.

In greater detail:
During any meeting, even a multi-hour, boring meeting which drags on, everything important will happen between the time you leave it, and the time the meeting ends, even if you leave the meeting seconds before it ends.

  1. Personally I like to be note taker. Nobuddy recalls anything except the meeting minutes. That's where the crime is.

  2. Too true, too true. My project manager always says "if it's not written down, it never happened". While I agree, I disagree: much often remains spoken only, yet they have significant impact.
