Try something like: "Could we handle this async? I can respond in writing by end of day." Or: "I'll skip this one but would love the notes afterward." Both are polite, professional, and surprisingly well-received.
Most organizers don't realize their meeting could be a message. By offering an alternative, you're not rejecting them — you're respecting everyone's time.
The point
Offer an async alternative instead of just declining — most people appreciate having their time back too.
