I try hard to keep these training sessions as short and as few in number as possible, which means we need to use all the time available. My issue is that whenever we call a short break, some subset of people will wander away to unknown destinations."
"No number of warnings or amount of cajoling will bring everyone back on time. So which option is better: starting, or waiting?
