Do you keep falling asleep in meetings and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls? Here's a way to change all of that.

1. Before (or during) the next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5" x 5" is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block:
Synergy, strategic fit, core competencies, best practice, bottom line, revisit, expeditious, to tell you the truth (or "the truth is), 24/7, out of the loop, benchmark, value-added, proactive, win-win, think outside the box, fast track, result-driven, knowledge base, at the end of the day, touch base, mindset, client focus(ed), paradigm, game plan, leverage.

3. Now check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases.

4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally stand up and shout "BULLSHIT!"

[enigmamoirai]

That's awesome! Wish I had to attend staff meetings, just to play Bullshit Bingo.

It's a well known fact around here that the best way to stay awake during boring meetings is to touch yourself.

I do my best not to zone out during meetings but sometimes I just can't help it, especially when the person speaking is droning on about insignificant crap. Also I would add "primary action items" to my list, they like to say that allot here. This type of stuff usually only happens when lots of PR/Marketing/Management types are attending. Brainstorming with developers is often fun and interesting .

I used to either bite my fingers or if I had my keys in my pocket I would jam a key into my finger.
