Staying Focus during Video Conferences

[Runner]

Online meetings are convenient, but it's not the best visual to keep you attentive. And as much as I want to concentrate, my mind eventually wanders even if there are no clear distractions. How do you keep up with meetings? I want to understand the speaker, but I get sleepy.

I knit! It's something I can do with my hands and not be a distraction to others, but it also keep a different part of my brain engaged so I can pay attention to the speaker.

Online meetings and classes are such a struggle for me! I know lots of my classmates enjoy them and don't think they are a big deal, but I struggle! I end up doodling to stay focused.

I can't help but fiddle with my phone when the speaker talks so slow. Although I have divided attention, it at least helps me stay awake. If not that, I type what the person is saying for better concentration.
