40 hours in a day...

So first i just want point out that this is the second time that i am writing this blog... as the first time, i posted and it did not save or something and thus it is gone:(

oh well, what i was blogging about is how there just are not enough hours in the day! i mean wouldnt it be so much better if we had 40 hours in a day? i say that, but i feel like we would just find some way to fill those up too... like last night, we had our exec meeting, and we had so much to discuss and we still didnt get to everything. so it got me thinking about how can we run these meeting more efficently? it makes me think about the 10 minute team that we read in my business management class earlier in the quarter. it talks about how meetings should be 10 minutes of updates and then the remaninder of the meeting should be focused on the development of the org and action.

Now, i do think that pha is getting better at this b/c each week we discuss the topic that we will be discussing at our wed meetings with our directors and delegates. like this week we talked about service/philanthropy.

so i guess what i am asking is how much of annoucements could we cut out to keep everyone informed of what each ind. is doing but keep it short enough that we could focus on our next action steps and value discussions? i brought up maybe meeting up with our exec board one-on-one but then later i was thinking well they already do that with tyler so wouldnt that be redundant? maybe it would be just best to have everyone just do updates for 2 minutes. so that would technically be 10 min (10 min team) then the remainder of the time could be spent on action and value discussion..

i think it is something to consider, but with as fast as the days go, i guess i want us to be as efficient and productive as we can b/c before we now it our 52 weeks will pass by before our eyes...
