Taking Notes in Meetings - Tips?
birwin | May 8 2008
I've got one of our every other month meetings coming up in a couple of weeks, and I thought I'd seek out some tips for taking notes. My preferred note taking tool is OmniOutliner, and I'll sometimes use MindManager for brainstorming during meetings. My OO notes are pretty much "stream of consciousness", just capturing what's said as it's said. I go back after the meeting and review the notes for action items. MM and OO have worked pretty well for me, but I'd like to hear how other people take notes in meetings. Thanks! 8 Comments

Why sit in front of a computer? That takes you out of the conversation and lessens the value of the meeting. I take all my meeting notes on paper, then I put the pages into my physical inbox to process them later. Often that processing includes transcribing the notes digitally, and re-writing everything forces me to think more about what I wrote to see what it really means. In addition, I can scribble whatever I want all over the page during the meeting since I'm not worried about format until afterward. Also, the processing step of course includes putting any relevant projects or actions into my system... which is an electronic/paper blend that deals mostly in printed-out index cards apart from my daily and weekly review sessions. » POSTED IN:
