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

If you're determined to use a computer, I still suggest that you take free-form notes in the meeting and re-state/organize things later. Trying to work within the constraints of some piece of software will only distract you from efficiently Capturing the meeting content. Processing is a separate step and should come later; I've found that trying to do two of the GTD workflow steps (capture, process, organize, review, do) at once inevitably leads me to miss something or waste time changing back and forth between modes. » POSTED IN:
