Dear share meeting Agenda, then get stakeholders stick to the agenda topics, share minutes of meeting afterwards with highlighting Action Points+Deadlines then you can follow the action points status with each owner easily.

I mostly follow this practice and really getting good results.

In addition, it's your responsibility to manage your time in an optimal way. if you feel not necessary to some meetings, then inform you won't attend anymore. If this is argumented, believe me, it works. I hope this will help you.
