Warning: my bullet journal almost got me in trouble at work last week

I was in a long meeting and started sketching a new weekly layout in my journal. I got so focused on getting the lines straight and spacing right that I completely missed a key question my boss asked me. He had to repeat it twice and I just looked up blankly. I felt my face get hot. It was a simple question about a project deadline, but I was totally zoned out on my spread. Has anyone else had a journal moment go wrong like that?

My bullet journal once got me a full performance review about focus.

Oh man, I've totally done that. The zoning out is real.

Yeah, the zoning out thing @the_william mentioned is no joke. My friend got caught drawing these crazy detailed mandalas in the margins during a budget review. Her manager thought she was taking intense notes and asked to see them, and she just had to hand over a page full of swirls.
