Not gonna lie, that is me in literally every meeting I’ve ever attended. I don’t know what it is, but 5 minutes after a meeting / conference call starts, I am struggling to keep my eyes open.
I guess the difference is that I am not in charge of the nuclear weapons of the world police, so I feel less bad about my instant disengagement.
The person keeping the minutes controls what actually happens. Someone suggest something you don’t like? Whoopsie poopsie, it missed the minutes. You have an idea everyone hated? Why did it get unanimous approval then? No one ever checks the minutes. It is the most powerful position in the company without hire fire authority.

But put me in a lecture hall and have some white dude droning on? I will have a tough time keeping my eyes open immediately.
100 mg caffeine 15 minutes before a company meeting keeps me awake with effort for the next hour. If the speaker is boring, raise that to 200 mg.
