I’m in a meeting
Do you find that most of your time at work is spent browsing the internet instead of being productive? You’re not alone. One person has taken matters into their own hands and come up with a creative way to get out of doing actual work.
They scheduled several fake meetings throughout the month on their schedule. Whenever his phone buzzed, he’d have a reason to drop whatever he was doing and watch Christmas movies until 5 PM. This can be used repeatedly, as you don’t want to gain the reputation of being lazy. On the other hand, people might see you as a go-getter and give you more responsibilities.
