We've implemented this. Every wednesday after lunch its "quiet time".

Works perfectly!

Are you suggesting that we think before we act/code/work/speak?

Thinking time is essential - whether in small amounts or large chunks.

Thinking time is a good way to also recharge the batteries and come back at a problem with renewed energy.

Couple meetings are Ok. But daily meeting or more than two meetings a day (group meeting, multiple groups meeting, department meeting) are wasted.

Technical people like developer, database administrator, architect need time to think, to find the best solutions.

Surely there is the need for some thinking time. Many hours of sleep lost when the brain decides to rehearse a memorable problem instead of snoozing.

Along the same lines is to take a break from a particular problem, if you are stuck. I can't tell you how many times I have gone home, and, in the middle of the night, or on my way driving home, the answer has come to me, not even thinking about the problem. Of course, this is only in a non-emergency situation. Smile

Great article, Steve.

Nice post, Stephanie.

Thanks...Chris
