Please note that this website is currently a work in progress! Lots of interesting data and statistics to come.
This came to mind while i was stacking a charger on top of my coffee machine.. so that i remembered to charge my bike the first thing in the morning, before even making that coffee.. I've started to stack things on top of each other to remember stuff, to force me to do that one thing and only after that i can use the thing that things were stacked on top of previously.
This is every meeting ever for me.
When I'm in a meeting, particularly with a customer, the 7 lines video always comes to mind: -

Except it isn't humorous in real life because you have to attend the same meeting and discuss the same topic every week for 40 years.
Just watch this after a meeting about where to stack our archives box (it was very hard for me NOT to be sarcastic)... so a meeting about putting thing on top of other things.
I always hum re: your brains by Jonathan Coulton during meetings
I feel meetings where at a certain point a great way for leadership that was stuck on a particular direction to gain input from all teams and then make a final decision on what action.
Nowdays the leadership is scared to make any decision lest they be axed by their real leadership, the board of directors. So they hold endless meetings about every decision because of some false notion that when everyone had a hand in the plan, they're all equally responsible for it.
I like the "surrounded by film" bit that wasn't included here. And speaking of chopping stuff out, there was no 16x9 TV in 1970.
