I'm guilty of this. I was in a 1.5 hour meeting that started out relevant, but then the conversation devolved into tons of specifics on how the reports were gathered and created, and I went straight to the phone.

It seems the greatest burden on the organizer is the same as a presenter: how do you present the information in an impactful, terse way with the least "noise" so that attendees are inclined not to seek distractions?

One thing I know for sure, sitting on a single slide for 5 full minutes feels like a slog.
