The wandering meeting

A meeting drifts into an interesting but separate problem.

A meeting drifts into an interesting but separate problem.

Attention has a context. A useful boundary describes what belongs in this moment and how you will return to what you set aside. A boundary can be small and temporary; it need not become a rule for every day.

Record that question in a named place and return to the stated decision.

A short note can preserve what happened: the setting, the change, and one observation. Avoid claiming more than the attempt showed.
