Notes and productivity
A meeting notes workflow that captures decisions
Good notes preserve the decisions, owners, and follow-up questions that make a meeting useful after it ends.
A clear sequence
- Start with the meeting purpose and participants.
- Capture decisions as they happen, using short sentences.
- Separate open questions from agreed actions.
- Assign each action an owner and a next checkpoint.
- Send or review the summary while the context is fresh.
A concise decision record is easier to act on than a transcript that requires a second meeting to interpret.
