Technique 2.5: The art of pretending to be on a phone call while actually browsing cat videos prophets.
When the meeting invite comes through, you know it's time to deploy the 2.5. Quickly open up the phone app and start pretending to be on a call, all while secretly scrolling through the latest cat memes. The goal is to appear engrossed, but not so engrossed that you actually get any work done.
Side effect of this technique: increased productivity in cat video viewing hours, decreased productivity in actual work hours.
Recommended for: Anyone who wants to appear productive without actually being productive.
