Are you the same as me?
You're in a client meeting, listening to what they're saying and giving them the attention they deserve.
You jot down notes as they talk.
You conclude the meeting.
You return to the office.
You think "Now what was it they said about...." and you've forgotten.
Should you learn shorthand?
Go on a memory building course?
Take a tape recorder to meetings?
Or just get smart with a Livescribe Pulse Smartpen.
I've had one of these for a year and cannot recommend it highly enough.
It records what's being said whilst you write down notes in a notebook (supplied).
Later you can press the nib onto any part of the notes and the pen plays back the conversation of that moment.
Or simply use the desktop software (free download) to read and listen on your PC or Mac, share with other people and convert to Word documents with extra (paid) software.
It's no more heavy than a Mont Blanc pen and about the same size - quite comfortable.
