“Meetings” are essentially unavoidable 

as long as we work in a team, 

and it is quite common for people to find these sessions a waste of time. 

Yet to set the venue at such cookie-cutter offices 

would, for sure, make everything feels like clockwork, 

which is why I find it quite optional to meet up formally in conference rooms. 

Since face-to-face communication is what matters, 

whether to convene at the pantry, 

on a football pitch, 

in a coffee shop, 

or even just having a casual chat under a tree, 

could all pass as effective get-togethers.
