PhazeRo's guide to meetings that aren't painful

Do you hate meetings? I feel your pain, because despite my energy and my optimism, I know too well that most meetings are inefficient at best, and more often than not, they seem to be deployed as a form of mental torture. In an ideal world, you would be able to invoke the Geneva Convention and expect international help.But since we live in a very imperfect world, I am giving you the second best thing, which is a guide on having meeting that do not suck.

The Pain

Most meetings induce suffering because they don't achieve anything. They include too many people who have nothing to do with the topic being discussed. Or they don't include key people who are necessary to make a decision. They don't start on time, and then they drag on and on until victims collapse and beg for mercy. It doesn't have to be this way.
