Plan Your Schedule: Use the time to plan out your week or make a to-do list. Getting organized can help you manage your time better.
Catch Up on Emails: If it’s appropriate, you could check your emails or messages, just to keep things productive.
Just remember to stay respectful and engaged enough to still follow along, in case the discussion takes an interesting turn!
