Meetings are one of the biggest time wasting activities on the planet, no matter how well organized.

Hypothetically, skipping that meeting means could take your kids on a bike ride and cook a healthy dinner, thereby increasing their lifespans and quality of life. Hmm...and probably decreasing your employer's insurance costs to boot.

When I was in my mid-thirties I decided to count the number of days that I had walked the planet. It was a good exercise to help me value time. If your not careful you'll forget that time is a limited time offer. In that spirit, not attending a meeting may be the best choice. Great post, Scott!
