Basically what it comes down to for me - I don't want to be distracted by my laptop and only bring it to meetings if I feel it's necessary:

- Daily stand ups? My laptop is distracting and I use a paper notepad instead.

- Long planning sessions or tech meetups? I need my laptop in order to be effective.

Staying focused is a constant struggle. Example: Being on Hacker News "wasting" a few minutes right now when I have a long list of tasks to work through.
