Meeting note output ≠ value

A gentle reminder that more output ≠ more value.

Most meeting notes today are longer and less useful than ever. Used to be one page. Tight and relevant. Now it's three pages of bullet points documenting every comment someone made in passing. Everyone's just running a transcript or an agent through a summariser and calling it done.

Note taking became lazy and the output is mostly slop.

Volume went up and quality went down. Nobody reads them. Not even the people sending them out.
