Before attending any meeting, ask these questions:

1. What is the purpose of this meeting, and how does that relate to my strategic objectives?

2. What is expected of me in the meeting?

3. What do I need to prepare or bring with me to be effective at the meeting?

4. What am I giving up to attend this meeting? Is that a good tradeoff?

5. What would be lost if I did not attend this meeting?

If you don't have satisfactory answers to all those questions, don't attend!
