Does anyone else feel like most workplace trainings and long meetings could be condensed into a 10-minute summary and still accomplish the same thing? How do your teams actually keep meetings productive without wasting half the day?

Absolutely, I think this. This is one reason I love ChatGPT. It condensed so many things that don't need to be as long as they are into something easily digested. I would get so much from my day back if I didn't have to sit in so many meetings.

I feel meetings are a stage for someone or multiple people’s egos wanting to be stroked. I’ve walked away from so many meetings frustrated by the amount of time wasted while my desk sits idol and work piles up.

I always feel this way. I swear half of the meetings I am forced to go to could have been an email. I skip a lot of meetings and say I was too busy to go.

Too many meetings
Too many people in each meeting
Too many people trying to make decisions

SHORTS ARE IN CONTROL OF THIS MARKET. It's stunning to say that after 4 rip-roaring up days. But, let's step back and look at the 1 hour chart for the past month. This week, we literally went to the top of the range. And, our high was with .25 point of the high established on June 15, 3156.25. We have never spent more than two hours above 3146. Even though the 15 short technically broke today, the long also did, reinstating the 15 minute short.
