Meeting notes habits that stick

Good notes are less about writing fast and more about three small habits.

Habit one: capture raw, structure later

Do not format during the meeting. Write plainly, then let the structure pass run right after — that separation is what keeps capture fast and the result clean.

Frequently asked questions

Habit two: end with owners

['A meeting is not over until every action item has an owner and a date. No owner means it did not happen.']

[('What is habit three?', 'Close the loop next time: open the previous note at the start of the next meeting. Two minutes, and suddenly meetings have memory.')]
