A lovely rule to make sure you make every meeting.
I’m generally scatter-brained and disorganized, and, on rare occasions, I miss meetings. I also work with creative types, who are often scatter-brained and disorganized and, on rare occasions, miss meetings with me. Ned Dwyer of Native Digital, who probably deals with the same issues, came up with a terrific rule to combat the scourge of missed meetings. It’s called “The Whisky Rule“, and it’s the sort of rule I could really get behind, particularly if an “e” was added.
The Whisky Rule is pretty simple. If you cancel a meeting less than 10 minutes notice, or if you miss it completely then you owe your counterpart a bottle of whisky.
The only problem I can foresee is folks intentionally making vague meeting plans, which would be lame. This is about honor, gentlemen.

Agree with Matt N. Mildly charming post, but not worth the time and attention it took to click and look. Not worthy of this site, really.
PROBLEMS:
* You end up with a cabinet of crap whisk(e)y because your co-workers miss a lot of meeting and are cheap.
* You end up broke because you miss a lot of meetings and are not cheap.
* You and your co-workers end up as alcoholics due to the veritable sea of whisk(e)y that has invaded the office.
SOLUTIONS:
* Whisk(e)y?
