Meeting Timer: Time is Money

Meeting Timer

Time is Money

How much is this meeting costing the company? What about costing society?

Everyone knows that time is money. And everyone knows that meetings can be a total waste of time. As such, meetings can waste a lot of money. But just just how much? Download this app to find out.

Here’s how it works: Start the app at the beginning of a meeting. Spend a few of those pointless minutes guessing the Hourly Cost Per Attendee. Enter how many people are in the meeting. Then watch the running total grow as the seconds tick by. Instead of doodling on your note pad, you’ll be able to watch your product’s price increase and your bonus pool decrease.

Every meeting you attend will be added to your Lifetime Total, so instead of analysing your colleague’s new facial hair, you’ll be able to think about what you really could have done with those wasted hours. Perhaps you could have improved your own productivity, learned Mandarin, or built a house from scratch.

And every meeting added by every Meeting Timer user will go into a World Wide Loss Total, so instead of resenting about yet another meeting, you can solve the current global financial crisis.

Just don’t show this to your boss, because he or she will probably stop calling pointless meetings. And then you’d have to work!
