如何終止無休止的會議？

我們許多人都經歷過無休無止的會議。與其不斷抬頭看時鐘，不如採取行動來控制會議時間。

1. 會前準備。如果你在會議之前就在會議通知單上注明了預備討論的主題與時間分配，安排好報告與討論人員，就可以讓會議進行得比較有秩序。
2. 設定時間限制。如果開會時間延遲了，或是超過的預訂的會議時間，你可以提醒大家注意。例如，你的會議開始時間就比預訂時間遲了才開始，你可以說：“我知道我們已經開始晚了，但是我必須在11:00去會見一個客戶。”
3. 注意會議形勢。如果你已經感覺到會議失控了，或是已經感覺很無趣，可能別人也會有同樣的感覺。你可以提出你對正在進行中的會議的顧慮，看看別人是否也有這樣的想法。你可以說：“我不確定如此討論，我們是否可以達成共識?而我們後面能夠討論其他議題的時間不多了，大家注意到了嗎？”

How to terminate the endless meeting?

Many of us have experienced endless meetings. Instead of looking up at the clock, it's better to take action to control the meeting time.

1. Prepare for the meeting. If you indicate the subject and time allocation of the discussion on the meeting notice, you can make the meeting more orderly.
2. Set time limit. If the meeting time is delayed or exceed the scheduled the meeting time, you can remind everyone to pay attention you. For example, your meeting start later than your reservation, you can say, "I know we are already late, but I have to meet a client at 11:00."
3. Pay attention to the situation of the meeting. If you feel that the meeting is out of control, or that it's already feeling boring, you may have the same feeling. You can raise your concerns about the meeting in progress and see if others have the same idea. You can say: "I'm not sure if such a discussion can be reached. Can we reach a consensus? And we can discuss other topics for a short time. Have you noticed it? "
