deconflict

Avoiding mutual interference by allocating time and assets to avoid conflict (collisions, double booking, over-stretching resources etc.).

The term is most commonly used by the military and engineers.

If you have a one lane street with two direction of traffic going through it, the drivers cannot go in both directions at the same time. Drivers can deconflict by taking turns. Three cars go one way, then three cars go the other way.

deconflix 

The act of scheduling streaming service viewing to ensure no one is using your account when you want to watch something. Portmanteau of "deconflicting Netflix."

I've been waiting all week to binge this season of NETFLIX ORIGINAL CONTENT, but my sister is hogging the account to watch Pokemon again. We should really deconflix our schedules.
