I don't. Hope this helps!

I focus on this app. Case in point: I’m commenting in Fishbowl at this very moment as I sit in yet another painfully boring back-to-back meeting.
“Sorry everyone. I was responding to an email.” 🤣
This is just me, but when I am getting paid to be in a meeting, I do three things. Number one I pay attention. And take notes. Finally, I silently express my gratitude for having the kind of job where all I need to do is pay attention and take notes.
I think about this a lot. 😌
Think of terrorists taking over the building and all the cool shit I would do to stop them.

Tell me you have ADHD without telling me you have ADHD.
In my head I’d be already thinking of what I would tell the reporters interviewing me for my heroic act of saving everyone from the terrorist. Then someone in the meeting suddenly says “So what do you think we need to do about this?” And I have no idea WTF they’re talking about.
I don’t but I’ve been faking paying attention and getting away with it since middle school so I’m really good at it.

I just imagine myself jamming a fork into my eye over and over.
But then my mind may well SNAP!
I say funny stuff or smile & wave. Depends.
Toothpicks to keep my eyelids open. Or, I wear these:
Writing notes interspersed with your real time internal monologue is actually quite therapeutic
Try to imagine everyone naked
No need to imagine thanks to AI!

I actively listen. I take notes on things that are said. Just to keep my mind engaged. I also physically turn my body when someone new is talking to keep myself moving.
Write down every word like a stenographer, between going for a little sleep in the toilets.
Pretend like you need to write the recap that the whole team will rely on for a very complicated project.
Honestly some people just book meetings to fill their timesheets and it’s quite annoying.
I have a biweekly meeting which consists of merely going through an excel spreadsheet. Whenever I miss it I only go through the spreadsheet myself and problem solved.
But yeah pay attention or double book yourself on purpose to avoid the worst ones 🤣
LSD.
I don't. Does anyone?
