Technique 8: Schedule Ambiguity

The art of scheduling meetings without actually having to attend them.

Step 8.1: Set the meeting for a time when everyone involved is known to have conflicting schedules.

1. Send out invites 30 minutes before the scheduled time.
2. Claim the meeting was 'in a state of beta testing' and therefore not actually happening.

This technique requires great skill and a healthy dose of paranoia.

Technique 9: Phantom Decision Maker is another useful tool in the arsenal of the meeting-avoider.

Or, you know, just send a "I'm not coming" email and call it 'a test of the system.'
