Or use the strategy that one of my professors used: refuse to get a school email address and all the associated computer accounts and hence be completely incapable of doing most paperwork. The important stuff they'd find a way to get him to do anyway.
Note: tenure may be required. Predating the email system helps, too.

- codethief 10y agoWell, not using email at all is pretty much impossible, considering how many committees said professor is in and how many students he's handling. It's also not his goal because he does like working with them and participating and so on. It's just that he was looking for a more time-effective method to do so.
