Emails, paying bills and uploading scans, and then recording notes for the past couple of days. Amazing how quick you can get behind. Thank goodness for scribbles with pen and paper. It is so much faster than typing things out, especially when you are required to be on or in a meeting and presenting. It would be too distracting to be typing all of the time. A quick pen and paper note about a topic or ideas is super-fast. You can then expand on it later on, when you are not under the gun. If you don't make the little notes, you honestly can't remember what happened in an hour-long meeting. Notes are great for the brain to review and remember what was going on. I highly suggest note taking. It helps you remember, and it engages you in the meeting instead of having your mind be elsewhere or floating. You need a tether or an anchor.
