Make the best of a work engagement by scheduling meetings prior to the mid-afternoon hours.

Being focused while maintaining everybody’s attention often depends on the time of the day when a meeting or a presentation takes place. Understanding humans’ biology and predispositions can help you become more productive and successful.

1. Schedule your meetings and presentations prior to the mid-afternoon hours.
   Since people are biologically conditioned to lose focus and alertness during the mid-afternoon hours, you will be most productive if you try to avoid these hours for important work engagements.
