I disagree with the fundamental idea that time spent on meetings can only be productive for the team but not for you. In fact meetings can (should) be a time to share ideas, learn new things and ultimately make your work more focused. If you're doing meetings right, they prevent you from wasting time on inconsequential details and keep you focused on what matters. If you are bored and the details of your work are not even addressed, you're probably just doing meetings wrong.
