Ten minutes to 10 AM and Derrick was seated at his desk working to build the nation. I try to call him twenty minutes from the time I saw him, but he auto replies with the ‘in a meeting’ text. When I saw him during lunch he explained that he was dragged into an impromptu meeting that to be honest, he had no input/ business being there. To make matters worse, what was supposed to be a 10 minutes meeting extended to an hour. We all have that colleague who will drag you into meetings that you had no reason being in.

Three months down the year, the same employee is either late for a meeting or forgot an important task. So the question at hand is, how and why use a diary?
