I’ve found that taking simple notes during meetings can be invaluable, especially if you jot down action items for yourself and others. Once you do that, it makes following up easier. If you opt for handwritten notes, convert them to digital for easy access later. For more details on when you should take notes at work, and how to find the right note taking style for you, read the full guide linked below.
