Writing minutes people actually read

Good meeting minutes are short and scannable rather than a full transcript. Separating decisions from general discussion notes makes it easy for someone who missed the meeting to find what actually changed, and listing action items with a clear owner and due date turns a meeting into follow-through instead of just a record that a conversation happened.

Assign an owner to every action

An action item without a named owner rarely gets done.

Send minutes soon after the meeting

Generating and sharing minutes while the discussion is still fresh keeps them accurate.
