one thing i learned from sitting in the biohacking group was that (biohacking) patrick established a rule that they would have a "working" meeting, not a socializing meeting, with more emphasis on managing time wisely and getting things done.
i thought that was a cool approach.
i personally like talking a lot at meetings, socializing but i realize my extroverted style isn't respectful of other styles
perhaps we could experiment, do some "working" get things done quickly meetings with a minimum on longer speeches?
