TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
How do you correlate the notes that you are taking for your work
and the notes that you are taking for them.
I find that when I'm taking notes for me, a third is what is
going on in the meeting and the rest is thoughts, comments,
mental alarms, and stream-of-consciousness scribbling on
thoughts I have while discussions are going on.
To take notes for the others means you are obligated to take
notes so that the notes have to be information that they need
even if I don't need it.
I'd much rather be in the meeting because it strengthens the
product and not because I'm "bribing" them with a task that only
makes their life easier.
