If you’re looking to take meeting notes effectively you need to capture and organize information in a manner that is useful in the future. A set of well-written meeting notes can help you remember past decisions and also what was discussed during future meetings.
There are a variety of best practices to take notes, whether you use either a digital or paper-based one. 1. Know what you need to keep in mind.
Spending time thinking about the important things to consider in the context of a meeting prior to walking into it can aid in focusing on making sure you are capturing the relevant information and not be distracted by other things on your mind. This can also help you to understand what the purpose of the discussion to make informed choices about how to approach it later on.
2. If you are able write in hand.
Research shows that those who use analog notes have a better conceptual understanding than those who use digital notes. If you have a notebook handy, you might want to take a look at the Cornell note-taking system, which divides notes into two columns that are left and right. The left column focuses on the most important ideas that came from the meetings and the right column is a drill into details and the key takeaways.
You can also ask participants to discuss their ideas during the meeting. This gives everyone the feeling that they’re contributing and can be heard. Write down the action items at the end of each meeting, and who is responsible.
