Five Killer Note Taking Abbreviations

Action-Oriented Note Taking

Taking notes is a good way to capture and digest the content of a meeting. It also increases focus on the subject matter at hand, as the notes preserve the salient points.

Here is a list of abbreviations for use when taking notes to make them even more productive:

1. A is an Action item.
2. C is a Call that needs to be made.
3. R is a Reference item for further use.
4. F is a Follow-up that needs to occur.
5. S is something that needs to be Scheduled.

After the meeting, work through the notes to prioritize or delegate the associated action items.
