To play devil's advocate for a sec, I wonder if the above could be used to argue that if you're using writing, why have a meeting at all?
I guess maybe the combination of voice and text might be better than just one of the two. But I'll be honest I'm not much of a meeting note taker. It feels actually harder to remember stuff with my face stuffed in a notebook while other people are talking.
- Cthulhu_ 3y ago> if you're using writing, why have a meeting at all? Most communication is waste, written or spoken; the writing is not to write down everything discussed, but to summarise and archive it for future reference. Don't write everything down, just the important parts. And if the conversation continues while you need to focus on writing, ask them to pause.
