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.
At the end of each day I will convert my whiteboard notes into GitHub issues.
Every day begins with a blank board.
It took me a really long time to get into this habit, but I never forget anything now. Relying on others to take notes for you is a huge mistake.
I'm not a big believer in making detailed notes during a 1:1
When necessary, I capture key points and action items in my phone while walking.
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...
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".
