What it does
When an interesting but off-topic item comes up, the temptation is to discuss it right then — and suddenly 30 minutes are gone without solving what you came to solve. But simply cutting the discussion off can make the team feel ignored. This prompt creates a system for capturing parallel topics that keeps the meeting focused without losing the good ideas that come up along the way. Use it when your meetings frequently go off topic, when you want to stay focused without being authoritarian, or when good discussions surface at inconvenient moments.
