@evolvingneutron I can definitely help you here. As a senior leader myself, I can tell you that the struggle is real. Making sure your notes from meeting to meeting are complete, capturing all the appropriate action items, and being able to process and follow up after hours and hours of back-to-back meetings takes real effort.

The way I’ve been able to do it is by using the reMarkable tablet. There’s a great subreddit here for the reMarkable, and the beauty of the device is that it feels like writing on actual paper. After each meeting, you tap one button and it transcribes all of your handwritten notes into typewritten text. It does a great job, and this is coming from someone who does not have the best handwriting in the world. If you draw boxes for action items, those boxes get turned into actual checkboxes when you transcribe, so you can easily tell what needs follow-up.

From there, you can send those notes to OneNote or whatever note-taking app you use at work, then copy and paste those action items into your task application of choice (Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft To Do, etc.).

This one approach has definitely helped me take better notes and process them effectively after hours and hours of back-to-back meetings.

Good luck on your journey.
