Meeting Adjacent Activities: The Art of Not Being There

Creative Productivity Tips for the Meeting-Adjacent

• Send a strongly worded email with your presence indicated, but not actually attend.
• Use your favorite productivity app to generate a fake "I'm on a call" status update.
• Claim you have a "meeting-related emergency" and leave for "an emergency meeting"
• Set your out-of-office reply to "in an actual meeting" and let the world know you're not missing out on anything important.
• Develop a complex spreadsheet to "streamline" your meeting schedule.
