Share the agenda before the meeting. Fill in the agenda items before anyone shows up. This keeps the discussion focused and gives attendees time to prepare.
Write down decisions, not everything. You don't need verbatim notes. Capture what was decided, not every word that was said. If there's disagreement, note the positions briefly.
Assign action items during the meeting. Don't wait until after. When someone says "I'll do that," write it down with their name right there. Review action items at the end of the meeting before everyone leaves.
Use checkboxes. The - [ ] syntax creates task lists that are easy to scan. A quick glance tells you what's done and what's pending.
