There’s a staff breakfast meeting scheduled at 7:30AM today. Most doctors start their day early doing rounds or  in the operating room for surgeons.We’re fresh, vibrant and full of energy in the mornings!

But meetings in the morning? Why?

• Most people are generally happy in the morning. We wanted to start our day positive and hope to sustain this throughout the day.
• We are generally more receptive and creative in the morning.
• You need someone to traffic or sort out these creative ideas. A good problem nonetheless.
• Humor and funny lines seem to work more in the morning.
• You have better chances of connecting solutions to a string of problems.
• Nobody seem to notice how time flies when you start meetings early in the morning. Unlike at the end of the day where everyone seem eager to fly out of the door.
• There’s plenty of good food and coffee around, yet only a few eat and do coffee breaks. It is less distracting.
• Humans tend to pee more in the morning, so it’s good to have a restroom nearby.
• You don’t need a grand presentation but people seem to get the message more accurately.
• People who attend early morning meetings seem to be also the ones who gives the best feedback you can get.

These are just some stuff I’ve rediscovered. And I’m betting this is somehow connected with the effective Filipino trait of socializing early in the morning and make good friends to start our day with!
