What is Fakemeeting.com?
We like to think of it as a creative productivity tool. Sometimes — not always, but sometimes — life happens and you need to attend to it. Or you’d rather work at odd hours. Whatever the case, having a seemingly valid excuse for not being instantly available definitely helps.
Why did we make it?
The belt on hybrid work policies everywhere are continuing to tighten. Even in our industry (advertising), some companies now require employees to be in the office four days a week.
That means less time to manage your workload on your own terms, outside the panopticon of the office. And even when you’re at home, monitoring software still makes it tricky.
By booking a fake meeting, you now have the time, if only for one hour a week, to do what you actually need to do with minimal interruption. Even if that “real” task is taking a real long nap. Although we would never, ever, ever use it ourselves (looking at you, Leah and our creative directors).
How It Works
It’s simple:
- Schedule a fake meeting
- Block out your calendar
- Enjoy the freedom to use your time wisely—on your terms
