- This is a [[Personal Infrastructure]] [[Spec]] - Terms must follow [[RFC2119]] - I tried to do meeting notes directly within my bullet journal for 2019 which presented a few issues: - Sometimes I would need to record action items in the middle of a meeting and I would either insert them directly and they were getting lost in my notes or they were being put farther down the page and would result in wasted space or would be then overrun by meeting notes, further confusing the context. - I've also started tracking my ToDo items in [[Notion]] using a copy of Alan's [[Week Template]] so my notebook is becoming less my "todo list" - This spec is designed using the [[Leuchtturm1917]] [A5 Medium Dotted](https://www.leuchtturm1917.us/notebooks/notebooks-sizes/a5-medium-5-3-4-x-8-1-4-in/) - V1 of my Meeting Notebook Spec is as follows: - The notebook MUST be of size A5 - The notebook MUST be dotted - The notebook MUST have page numbers - The notebook MUST have two string page markers - The notebook MUST begin with a Meeting Notebook Index - The index MUST be split into three drawn columns - The index MUST NOT be split into drawn rows - The first column - MUST be approximately 1/8th of the page - MUST be titled `Date` - The second column - MUST be approximately 1/2 the page - MUST be titled `Meeting` - The third column - MUST be titled `Page Number` - SHOULD be the remainder of the page - The notebook SHOULD only start with two pages for the Meeting Notebook Index - The notebook SHOULD only contain Meeting Notes - A meeting note should follow the following format: - A meeting note MUST only ever start on an even page - A meeting note SHOULD start with the following metadata - Date - Attendees - Subject - Calendar Event (Yes/No) - Entered (Checkbox) - This indicates if the notes have been transcribed into a permanent storage location like Confluence, Word, SharePoint, etc. - Meeting notes MUST ONLY be on the left page - Action items, follow up questions, and cascading data MUST ONLY be on the right page
