I like this. I add to my summary - a review of action steps too - simple answering: Who is doing What by When.

Sage advice. I do this regularly during my weekly standing meetings, but I need to do better in my other meetings and conversations too. On a related note, I've been working on taking less notes during meetings so that I can focus on the 'hear and now' and the other speakers. I'll jot down an action item or an important date. At the end of the meeting, before I jump into my next meeting or task, I take a few minutes to summarize the important topics in the meeting. This seems to help me retain more (active recall exercise) than trying to capture everything down minute by minute.
