Everyone certainly does meetings differently.

I tend to show up with printed outlines of my own agenda, even if it isn’t my meeting.

I discovered after years of not knowing I was doing anything right that I take great notes.

I love writing mind you, so I keep journals religiously, yet in meetings I only scratch down highlights. Words, identifying or novel topics, ASSERTIONS MADE BY OTHERS.

Sit around for a few minutes after and write a little about your thoughts. Keep logging your mental reflections long afterwards. Glance back at them and fill in blanks when inspired.

A workflow driven by a writing process (even if scraps of notes and outlines) is one forward thinking with a referential past.

Keep a work journal. Keep it in hand.

Don’t think of notes as “minutes” for the meeting. Start by capturing your best fragments and this skill will improve.

Revisit your notes, and expand upon them into your written workflow process.

Alternatively, go to meetings with your own outline, and capture anything that is added or changed.

this is quite intellectual of you, not only for meeting purposes but journal keeping, i tried doing this journaling for 6 months, the issue is i live in a big family and my things in my room are not even secure or private so there might a chance someone might read it, or so..until unless books come with codes to unlock them, yes i do like writing as i once received a calligraphic award back in the days..however now my handwiritng is equivalent to that of a doctor's..nevertheless i will implement this in more of a typing form, since im trying to reduce paper work except drawings so this way it might be better for now...

I thank you for your time, sir.
