Frequently Asked Questions

Should the note taker also be the facilitator?+
Ideally not. Facilitating (managing the agenda, calling on people, timeboxing) and note-taking (capturing decisions and actions in real time) are both cognitively demanding tasks. Split them between two people. If you must do both, focus on capturing decisions and actions, and ask a participant to flag anything you miss.
How do I take notes for meetings where I am also presenting?+
Prepare a pre-filled template with the agenda and any decisions you expect to propose. During the meeting, update only the decisions and actions in real time. Ask an attendee to capture key discussion points. After the meeting, fill in any gaps from memory within 30 minutes while the meeting is still fresh.
What if someone disagrees with the notes?+
Send a draft with a 24-hour comment window: "If any decision or action item is captured incorrectly, please reply by [time]." Silence after the window is implicit agreement. If someone raises a substantive correction, update the notes and resend. Do not debate interpretation. If there is genuine disagreement about what was decided, it means the decision was not stated clearly enough in the meeting.
How do I handle recurring meetings with similar agendas?+
Create a running document (Google Doc or Notion page) with each meeting as a dated section. Keep the same template structure. This creates a searchable log of all decisions and action items across the series. Link to it from your [stakeholder communication plan](/templates/stakeholder-communication-plan-template) so stakeholders know where to find past meeting notes. ---
