Why do you penalize yourself for not accomplishing anything? If you weren't trying, yes, but if you were consistently trying to get things done, that's still work. In any work culture, no matter what the efficiency experts say.
I contest the penalty. Just because there's no end product immediately evident, the fact that you're there and working on something counts.
Personally, I think you deserve double time for pointless meeting. Think of the energy expended not throttling the people who kept things from getting done.
