It also helps to know "why am I attending this event?" - what is the purpose of your participation, what is your desire? Obligation, tradition, socialization, to learn (about what?), seeking; what?

Your purpose may enhance or suppress your attention...

I like the word focus; it takes time to focus on the talk or the sermon. Great post! I hear God's plan is unfolding in your life's situations. God blesses your messages.

I definitely have this problem! Have you ever read Adrian Plass? His character measures the length of a sermon by how many fruit gums he eats!
