Handwritten notes, mind-maps, & bullet journals...

Some ideas if you prefer the ease of handwriting notes, mind-mapping, or bullet journaling:

Taking Notes by Hand--Advantages
  • You can pay attention to what's happening in the meeting rather than focusing on typing. 
  • You can easily draw arrows, cross out words, and underline information without having to look for the right key. You can use your own method of notation or shorthand. 
  • It's faster to write if you are a slow typist. 
  • You can easily write notes on the meeting handouts. 
  • There's less temptation to record every word. 
  • There's no worry about what might go wrong with the computer.  
  • It's quieter and less distracting to other people in the room. 

Taking Notes by Hand--Disadvantages
  • You may not be able to read your handwriting. 
  • You may not be able to keep up if you write slowly. 
  • Your writing hand can get tired if it's a long meeting.
  • It's a longer two-step process of writing, then typing. 
  • You may misplace your written notes and lose everything.
