I get distracted and my mind starts to think of better ways to explain the last point... Soon I have no clue what the last ten minutes were about. Taking notes makes me get back on task faster so I can find the next note to write.
I'd like to slow down and just listen but the reality is I won't.
Interesting, so "otherthinking" is bad here. Have you tried other devices to turn yourself back on track without the extra work?
