Any tips for taking meeting notes specifically?

As a meeting secretary, you can use a similar process but you have to be mindful and listen actively since you're tracking info for more than you.
I have tried this, and tt's a good pedagogical method for learning-how-to-learn, but it's inconvenient in practice I think it's worth learning how to use Anki instead. The key challenge there is selecting the right level of coarseness, so that it doesn't take forever. Even if you don't end up reviewing your cards, the act of synthesising information helps you learn it. Down the line you're able to encode important in…
Super useful. I feel like I don't really forget the majority of the vibes like I did for my astro undergrad. I remember GR a lot less than convex opt even though I spent many more hours of rigorous study and even though I revisited my GR material more. Revisiting my astro notes is still effective for those little details, but getting all the context into my working memory is much more exhausting.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Record everything, ML multi-speaker speech-to-text every conversation. Plug text input into company search engine. Radical transparency by giving everybody access to this interface. Awesome bullshit filter.
> ML multi-speaker speech-to-text every conversation Neat idea, do you know of any software that's capable of taking an audio file and producing multi-user text from it? Seems like it would be useful in a wide variety of situations.
On top of this you can add 5000 names for company specific entity recognition for product, people, brand names etc.
120 different languages are supported.

You had me here. Companies that do this as a matter of course on their key production lines usually become very, very productive.
Its not to catch worker ethics lapses; its to give the team the ability to understand the causes of their exhaustion, and optimise.
Anyway, done properly, meeting notes and general distribution can give individual members of a group a lot more agency over their participation in that group.

I use what I know as the the "Bill Gates method". Separate things into: * important points * questions to ask, either during the meeting or afterwards. If it gets answered during the meeting, I put the answer under 'important points' and cross out the question. * things for you to do after the meeting * any commitments others take on which you want to keep track of I do this by entering them on different areas of the…
'15 here I remember having these notes ingrained into my brain in middle school; at Ithaca, I didn't know a single person who actively used Cornell notes for note taking. That said, actively engaging and re-engaging with content will help you build better internal bodies of knowledge on the subject, so you'll retain the content long after prelims and finals.
I also went to Cornell and never saw it used or mentioned once.
If anyone else is interested in research on note taking, this is a survey of the research with citations: https://www.cultofpedagogy.com/note-taking Unfortunately it doesn’t look like there’s been as much research on specific methodologies (e.g. Cornell method), but it may also be the case that the methodology doesn’t matter at all, only that the strategies are employed. I’m surprised it doesn’t mention the encoding…
I recall that in the book Your Memory by Ken Higbee he said that various study/notetaking methods don't differ much and just combine strategies that are known to work. So he picked a popular system to recommend to readers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQ3R
You can immediately see similarities between SQ3R and Cornell Notes.

Is there a good description/explanation of this?
