When you walk out of meetings at work, do you feel that you want to take smarter notes. Maybe you want a simple way to take meeting notes. And because you don't have that, you ask your colleagues for their meeting notes to know what was discussed or what you have to do.
The thing with meeting notes is that we're never taught how to actually take them. As a result, most of us end up writing everything together in one big block on a A4 page. Meeting notes like that don't help you understand what was discussed, what questions were asked, or what action items you're responsible for.
So in this video, I explain a simple way for you to take meeting notes at work. It's based on a quadrant and clearly separates everything that was discussed. I start by explaining the process, then I share an example so you can see how it's used.
Watch this video then let me know in the comments if this method works for you. I'd love to hear that!

Thank you so much for the valuable video!This is one of my problems, take notes. As you said some people talk fast. When that happens I obtain some information but not all.

@kararonin Ай бұрын

Yes, people do talk fast. You have to pick the important things to take notes about.

I think the template you've proposed makes sense and includes nearly everything i use. One thing that i do additionally is have a list of invitees to the meeting. I also have a list of attendees as you have. I put both next to eachother. This helps me to understand who was invited, but didn't make the meeting. I may or may not need to connect with who didnt attend after the meeting to share my notes or convey any action items assigned to them during the meeting. I often take my notes by writing them out. I frequently add them into OneNote after the fact. This makes them searchable.

@kararonin Ай бұрын

These are great suggestions. I like how you share notes with people who couldn't attend. And how you incorporate them in one note for your records.

@starterdev Ай бұрын

Great! I will not wonder anymore what to take note during the meeting. I'm person in a meeting who doesn't take note anything hahaha, and whenever there's a new question to me, I'll just ask someone who knows better the answer to that question.

@kararonin Ай бұрын

Well I hope this strategy helps you for future meetings! Thank you!

First thanks for giving this video about ->How to take meeting notes? This may work for small meetings and we may record it in detail during the discussion is ongoing. However, taking detailed notes during ongoing meetings is not feasible in real situations. Please upload the video if there is any standard way of taking short notes during meeting and later by using short notes to elaborate the meeting minutes.

I'll look into this as a video idea.
