I am a bad note taker

I have always been a bad note taker. Every semester I would try to take good notes, and then fail miserably. Same thing at work when I go to meetings.

However, as my job became much more customer focused I find that I am taking better notes in meetings and seminars. Sometimes this is to ease communicating later to my boss and team. Other times is so I don't forget to do something.

I decided to go through the half dozen little notebooks I have floating around and post just the titles of the various meetings.

• Large Company Social Computing Issues
• Company University site
• Pligg to-do
• Prioritize Search Initiatives
• VAP7 Rollout
• Enterprise Architecture Board Collaboration Team
• Plone Outages
• Company mediawiki
• Staff Meeting
• Zimba and Company business unit
  
• SAP Contacts
• Digitizing the Archives
• Content Discovery
• Contacts 2.0
• CIO Coffee
• Wiki Book Project
• Calendaring
• Google Meeting with Compant Special Events
• Moving Servers to of of Current Data Center
• Google POC
• Wiki Meeting
• Plone and Server Migration
• Kiosk Issues
• Cisco Unified Communications
• Zimbra Scope
• IT Support
• Targeted links
• Search Monitoring
• Email Delivery
• FAST Status
• Virtual Iron Meeting
• SpikeSource/Intel Collaboration

I note that for many meeting, I failed to write anything down. I guess that is because many meetings are a waste of time. Others are only held for social validation purposes. I am actually surprised that this list manages to capture the diverse nature of my role fairly well.
