If you’re on a one-on-1 call with your client or in a conference with multiple people making notes is vital to keep track of the information discussed. If you’re struggling to take effective notes, it might be difficult to keep up with the entire meeting or remember important details once you return to your desk. This article will aid you in improving your note-taking skills, to ensure you attend more effective and well-organized meetings in the future.
Select a method of note-taking that works best for you. There are several common ways to experiment with, including the Cornell method, which divides your notes into a smaller column on the left and a more extensive column on the right. The idea is that the smaller column is a good way to highlight the main ideas of the meeting and the larger column goes into the finer details of each. Then, you can create a summary at end of the sheet to connect the various ideas.
Keep it simple. It is easy to get lost in the nitty-gritty of making notes. However, it is important to concentrate on what is important to help those who will be reading them later. Try not to copy verbatim; instead, use shorthand or symbols that will be easily recognizable when you review your notes later.
The ideal scenario is that your team be able to communicate the agenda for the meeting ahead of time so that you can create an outline prior to the meeting. This will help you avoid having to take notes of key elements of the meeting and can help you stay on track throughout the entire discussion.
