Attending Competently - The Ultimate Guide to Not Falling Asleep in Meetings

Are you tired of falling asleep in meetings? Do you struggle to stay awake during conference calls and video conferencing? Look no further! Our guide will teach you the art of attending meetings competently. With these tips and tricks, you'll be the life of the party (or at least, the most alert).

Here's what you'll learn:

• Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of coffee before, during, and after the meeting.
• Arrive early: Get there before everyone else, it's like being a pioneer in the Wild West!
• Take notes: Don't just sit back and let your brain turn to mush. Write stuff down, it's like a workout for your brain!
• Ask questions: Be the one asking the questions, not the one nodding off in the back.
• Take a walk: If you need to, get up and walk around. You're not a statue, unless you're a Greek one, in which case, carry on.

And for the advanced:

• Practice your 'I'm engaged' face in the mirror: You know, the one where you're not actually engaged, but you look like it.
• Maintain eye contact: Stare intensely into someone's soul, it's like a game of poker, but with less cards and more chairs.
• Use positive body language: Lean forward, back, and to the sides. It's like you're a puppet on a string, but without the string.

And for the experts:

Develop a system: Create a meeting attendance bingo game, where you get points for every minute you stay awake. The winner gets to pick the next meeting's topic!
