How to Create Effective Meeting Notes

Creating meeting notes keeps every team member on the same page and ensures all action items are captured and followed up on. Here are some best practices to help you take better meeting notes:

1. Prepare an Agenda

Before the meeting, create a clear agenda with discussion topics. This step keeps the meeting focused and ensures all critical points are covered. An agenda provides a roadmap for the meeting and sets clear expectations for participants. Notion can help you create a detailed meeting agenda that is easy to share and update progressively. Including a timeline for each topic helps manage the meeting's pace and ensure that every issue is addressed.

2. Assign a Note-Taker

Designate a responsible person to take notes during the meeting. This person should focus on capturing the main points, decisions, and action items. It's vital that the note-taker is attentive and understands the meeting topics well. Rotating this responsibility will also involve different team members and share the workload.

3. Use a Template

An effective meeting notes template can help ensure you capture all necessary information. You can find a meeting agenda template from Notion you can customize to fit your needs. Templates can include sections for the meeting agenda, attendees, discussion points, decisions made, meeting date, next meeting date, and action items to create comprehensive meeting minutes.

For recurring meetings, a Notion weekly meeting template can be handy, providing a consistent structure for each session.

Alternatively, you can use an AI note taker like Tactiq to transcribe and highlight key takeaways during your meetings automatically.

4. Highlight Action Items

Highlight any action items and assign them to specific individuals with due dates. This step helps ensure accountability and follow-through. Bold text, different colors, or specific symbols can make action items stand out in your notes. In Notion, you can create tasks from meeting notes, making tracking and managing them easy. Linking these tasks to broader project plans can also help contextualize and prioritize them.

5. Summarize Key Points

Summarize the main points and decisions made during the meeting and include references to past meeting minutes where relevant. This step helps provide a clear record of what was discussed and agreed upon. A good summary captures the essence of the discussion without going into excessive detail. Ensure your summaries are concise and clear to make them useful for all present and absent team members.
