When I was in college I would zone out in lecture and wait till I got home to do the homework because I was being graded on homework and exams, not how well I paid attention in class. Now I zone out in meetings because I don’t think they’re important and pine for the moment when I can go back to my desk and do my individual work. Homework trained me to behave disconnected, I don’t known if it has stuck with me because I’ve been able to get away with it or because paying attention in meetings is unnecessary.
