Recognizing the Patterns

Here are the advanced patterns to recognize when a meeting is getting out of hand:

When the same person is talking, but not actually saying anything.
When someone starts using the phrase "synergy" unironically.
When the whiteboard markers are sharper than your highlighters.
When the projector screen flickers like it's possessed.

Strategies for the Savvy

Here are some advanced strategies to keep yourself awake:

Bring a snack. A good one. Like a sandwich. With mayonnaise.
Position yourself near the exit. Just in case.
Take notes, but only on a napkin. Trust us, it's a real thing.

The Dark Arts of Meetings

For the true masters:

Learn to read your notes while the meeting is happening.
Practice your "uh-huh, yeah, okay" face in the mirror.
Master the art of nodding without actually listening.
