Years ago during the Iran Contra hearings before Congress, senators repeatedly asked those testifying what they were on such-and-such date and time. I certainly would not want to be required to remember my schedule to such detail. A co-worker joked that if he were asked that question, he would reply that he was in a meeting. He thought he had a 70% chance of being right.
Worst Case Scenarios writer Ben Winters apparently has endured his fair share of meetings and has suggestions for how to deal with too many meetings. Mr. Winters has advice for the following situations and more:
--Fake your way through a presentation
--Slip out of the room unnoticed
--Stay awake through agenda overload
--Video conference from the beach
