How do you take notes in your meetings

Greetings IH fam

I have always struggled with trying to actively focus in meetings and take notes simultaneously, plus the fear of missing out on the details of the meeting for later use I take notes, but then I might lose touch with being active-minded sometimes in the meeting.

Most of you are geniuses and this might be not an issue I am sure but for others like me, who struggle to keep up with both of the attentive tasks at hand, how do you manage your note-taking during meetings?

    I have that same issue, what I try to do is repeat the words while I'm typing.
    Also I used to be afraid to pause and ask for fear of disrupting the flow but I realized it's best to make sure the ideas are being written so if I ever miss something, I try to circle back. I have to note that this is easier to do in smaller teams than bigger ones

      that’s a doable approach.

      1. By repeat do you mean it in writing or verbal in mind ?
      2. Pausing once or twice is fine but repeating it gives off the wrong impression i think and comes off as amateur ish especially for clientelé meetings?

        1. I repeat in my mind
        2. What's amateur ish about wanting to make sure you're getting the right things down?
