How to type up minutes quickly?
I'm not new to minute-taking but it takes me absolute ages to type up minutes post-meeting. I probably have a few years under my belt of minuting, but have come to the realisation I'm completely inefficient at it.
For example, a 1 hour meeting can take me anywhere from 2-4 hours (sometimes more) to type up minutes for and they aren't just actions but key discussion points too. However, I've seen my manager seem to be able to take minutes for a meeting and get them sent out 30 minutes after the meeting which I find is insane, almost like I'm doing something wrong (and these will be discussion points and capture everything).
I get I can use AI, but it's a skill I want to develop as it feels like I'm missing something (I know my manager isn't using AI, as I've asked and the minutes don't have that ai-generated look) . I usually try and type everything that is said during the meeting, then condense it post-meeting into something coherent.
