Ask HN: What's something productive I can do with my hands during zoom meetings?

3 pointsby mcrittendenover 2 years ago
For example, I tried crocheting but I got tired of it. Any other suggestions?

Depending on the meeting, just turn your camera off and turn up the volume. Wash dishes, clean home, eat a sandwich… If you cannot turn off the camera, then just work.<p>I’m assuming you want to do something productive because the meeting itself is not. Otherwise, doing something productive with your hands while being on a productive meeting will lead to you being not focused for the meeting… so what’s the point.

Can you be entirely nude below the waist? I&#x27;m serious. It would open up so many options.

Some people find it helpful to fidget with something in their hands during Zoom meetings, like a pen or a small toy. This can help to keep you focused and engaged in the discussion. Other ideas include doodling or taking notes.<p>If you have a lot of meetings, you may want to invest in a small whiteboard that you can use to jot down ideas or doodlings. This can be a great way to stay productive and engaged during long meetings.<p>If you tend to get fidgety during meetings, you may also want to try sitting on a stability ball or using a standing desk. This can help to keep your body active and engaged, which can help you to focus and pay attention.
