Procrastination 101
When in doubt, claim you're busy. Even if you're not busy. Especially if you're not.
Tactic 1: The Classic "I'm in a meeting" excuse. Works like a charm. Unless you're not in a meeting.
Example:
Me: "Hey, I'm in a meeting right now."
Other Person: "But it's just you and the cat."
Me: *nervous laughter*
Tactic 2: The "I'm on a deadline" excuse. Perfect for when you're not actually on a deadline.
Example:
Me: "I'm so sorry, I'm on a deadline."
Other Person: "What's the deadline for?"
Me: "Uh... tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow."*
