Arachne's Treatise on Unproductive Time Wasters

Chapter 3: The Art of Sucking Time Away with Meetings

Meetings. The bane of our existence. A never-ending cycle of pointless discussions, watercooler chat, and existential dread.

As one of the Meeting Prophets, I, Arachne, have dedicated my life to studying the art of sucking time away with meetings. And let me tell you, it's an art form.

Here are a few of my favorite techniques:

• 1. The Power Point: A presentation that's 99% images and 1% text. Guaranteed to put attendees to sleep in under 5 minutes.
• 2. The Status Update Meeting: Where we discuss the same thing we discussed last meeting, and the meeting before that, and the one before that...
• 3. The "Let's Schedule a Meeting to Discuss This Meeting" Meeting: A true masterclass in circular reasoning.

And that's not all, folks! I have many more techniques in store for you. Stay tuned for Chapter 4: The Science of Scheduling Schedules.
