how to save the world (or at least yourself) from bad meetings

 people don't realize that accept isn't the only option they get when asked to join a meeting. Sometimes using the option of maybe or even No can be helpful and you can save yourself time from a meeting that wasn’t meant for you. Some ways to do that as explained in the video would be going to the person hosting the meeting and asking them what the meeting is about and if they don’t mind that you skip it because you feel that it is not something that will come in handy for you. This will change their approach to when a meeting should be set up and who should be invited. This can be helpful because everyone around the organization wouldn’t have to waste their time in a meeting that has no importance to them and finish off their other tasks quicker.
