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.
