This is a great question. I'm struggling myself jumping from 30 minute meeting to meeting for 6 hours in a day and I have to remember what is said in each when I haven't internalized all of the things (so my shorthand notes are often incomplete or even unintelligible) and all the tasks and who they are assigned to so I can follow up or pass them along. And At the sane time I have to multitask during meetings to actually get my job done which means I'm often tuned out for part of the congestion. And the whole time I have to respond to messages, some of them urgent issues that need quick action.
I do my best to capture everything in Obsidian, but the more stuff I have the harder it is to organize: does something belong in my daily notes, which is more accessible but hardest to find, or is it a quick task where once I complete it and delete it I've lost what was done, or is it a standalone task, or is it something that should be documented in project status? FUUUUUUUCK!
I spend 30-60 minutes a day just organizing my notes and tasks. I have to do any actual work (including said organization) before 9-10am because that's when the deluge of meetings start and once they are done for the day I'm just spent.
I can totally relate to that. Back-to-back meetings, multitasking, and trying to keep track of everything can get overwhelming really fast.
I try to capture tasks in one place too, but the tricky part for me is when client communications come from multiple platforms, it’s hard to track everything live while also managing my internal notes. I’m really looking for a tool or workflow that can help reduce that load and keep both live messages and tasks organized in real time.
