How do you take notes or otherwise record key points or concerns when you’re walking? Or are you physically close to your computer?
I’ve had managers who would do stuff like this, not in front of a computer. As you might imagine the experience working with them was not great and led me to change managers because they’d never recall what we talked about because they were distracted.
I mean in a 1:1 setting, the manager needs to take notes if he can't remember basic things like what we discussed 7 days ago. It has happened to me in the past, and their aloofness has resulted in me quitting my job. The onus of remembering is on my manager to make sure those 1:1 don't result in me leaving, not me.
I concur. While walking might be beneficial for the manager it'll be a problem long term (unless you think your memory is incredibly strong, which I doubt)
same, and i do many walking meetings as well. i would however like to tap some_number to add the last x seconds of the conversation into a note - either as audio or transcribed.
of course requires pre-recording consent. i could then annotate those notes later, which is helpful to me regardless (e.g. even in sitting meets, i will often take notes with a pen, and then later re-type key points (digitally) into a more focused version).
finally, any tips on microphones which filter out surrounding noise well (so the people on the call aren't bothered by my background noise)? plantronics voyager 6200 is the best i have used so far, and most reviews focus on your listening experience, rather than the listening experience of the other parties...
Hi, maybe try www.feeting.app. They do transcription and manual note-taking very smooth "Hey Feeting...". You also get all the meeting highlights like hot topics, questions, actions, follow-ups, feeting sentiment and speaking times afterwards.
They're doing an awesome job with background noise cancellation and the spatial audio is superb (if your headphones and phone support it). It gives the feeling to be with the other people "in the same room".
