The note taking I do is for party meetings sometimes and it'd trying to keep up with the conversation while noting down who said what and pairing it down to brief and succinct bulletpoints.

It basically boils down to using the meeting agenda sheet as a skeleton then bulletpointing what's said by who under the sections as quickly as I can and as clearly as possible to both keep up with the conversation while maintaining records accuracy. After the meeting I reread and review my notes immediately to type them up into a more professional document that conveys what the meeting was about at a glance.

I do that because I was told that taking notes then reviewing and taking notes based off your notes helps you go over what you were studying as you were learning it to further cement it in your mind and took that to apply it to other things. So far it seems like it's working for me.
