Meeting notes hack from working at a start-up

From meeting notes to my to-do list I literally dump EVERYTHING into my Microsoft One Note!

I’ll start by saying that organization is really not my strong suit. I don’t do well with organizing my notes, and I tend to be a little bit scattered.

When I started my new job as a nonprofit corporate level nurse practitioner, I had no idea how to organize all of the projects I was managing. I felt like my meeting notebook was so unorganized. I would take notes on paper and then need to shuffle back through the pages to remember what my action items were for the meetings. Over the past few months I finally committed to keeping everything in one place- and it’s been a LIFE CHANGER.

It’s honestly so user friendly too! I just create a notebook for each month and the a tab for each week. I then add pages for each meeting I have.

What’s your go to app for keeping meeting notes organized?

Utilizing a digital tool like Microsoft OneNote can help manage chaotic project notes efficiently. Create dedicated notebooks for each month, and separate tabs for weeks and meetings to declutter your thoughts and trace action items smoothly. This approach reduces the time spent searching for notes and action plans, thus allowing more time to focus on completing tasks and driving projects forward. In addition, integrating your notes with task management systems can further enhance your workflow. For instance, using checklists within OneNote can remind you of pending tasks and upcoming deadlines. Research shows that improved organization directly correlates to job satisfaction and effectiveness in delivering results. Users can also explore alternatives like Notion or Evernote, each offering unique features tailored to different organizational styles. Regardless of your choice, the goal should be to find a balance between thorough note-taking and ease of access to enhance overall workflow and project management in your career.
