Death by 1000 meetings

As the modern form of an ancient torture, death by 1000 meetings is defined as the annihilation of a project, action or ultimately a person due to time wasted in having to attend a seemingly infinite amount of non-productive meetings.

This is in direct correlation to the mathematical theory which states WORK = 1 / MEETINGS, as the amount of meetings increases, the amount of tangible work gets divided to oblivion.
Bob: What happened to the billion dollar R&D project that Joe was working on?
Mary: Death by 1000 meetings

Rick: Hey I thought you were working on that perpetual motion machine, why hasn't anything progressed in the last 3 years?
Jason: Death by 1000 meetings

Mark: Did you hear about the case of fiscal insolvency of a city over in California?
Ann: Sure did, yet another case of death by 1000 meetings!

Peak Meeting

Peak meeting is the point in time when the maximum rate of attention extraction is reached, after which the rate of attention enters terminal decline.

Attention extraction rate is not proportionate to the volume of input over time at any one said meeting. If nothing of importance is said in the first 10 minutes commence Coffee Break.

Equation:

Length of Meeting = Rate of Novelty + Caffeine Level (-Sleep Deprivation Amount) ---> When it trends negative, all communication ceases. Standard Deviation for an expired meeting is about 10 minutes.
Employee 1: You cure can tell everyones attention span dropped 20 minutes into it the meeting.

Employee 2: Yeah the peak meeting was definitely 15 minutes.
