I have literally taken notes on my phone in real-time to resolve some of this. Both to track whatever firehose is aimed at my ear-holes, and to recall points I wanted to make 10 minutes ago, because I couldn't get a word in edgewise.

When asked what I was doing, I simply reply "I have to take notes - there's too much information here." It goes over surprisingly well.

You may have better friends than me. I've had people say that it's "disrespectful" because I must be focusing more on what they said vs what they're now saying or something stupid IDK.
