No matter how long a meeting is, we never let it go beyond one hour. Surprisingly, we manage to finish within an hour. Of course, to keep the meeting within an hour, we were all very intense throughout. By actively listening to others’ ideas, thinking hard, and sharing opinions, we found that an hour was the maximum time our stamina could handle.

Yes, indeed.

Meetings are best when short. However, they can sometimes run long depending on the circumstances. Locking the door and debating through several nights is also possible. The important thing is to stick to the given time. The same goes for speeches. If the allotted time is 30 minutes, but it ends up being an hour or finishes in 10 minutes, it means it was not well-prepared. Thorough preparation to finish within the given time frame is optimal.
