Yes - this is the reason I take notes and attempt to take verbatim notes. It’s harder to zone out when I’ve got to try to capture every word they’re saying. It can still happen but I’m better at focusing when I’ve got a task to do

+1–I cannot pay attention unless I take verbatim notes in real time just like M1

Agree with note taking.

If it’s a group meeting and the material isn’t relevant to you maybe you can opt out of the meeting, explain your time is better spent working and ask that someone send you the minutes or fill you in later.
