These are write-only notes never meant to be consulted again.
I do this because it not only helps me concentrate, but I feel the physical act engages an extra type of mental process. This effect is specific to pen on paper and is ot achieved eg by typing (wich for me has a negative impact on attention)
I personally consider my meeting notes as transient. I use them to make sure I capture what really mattered during the discussion and ideas that it sparked.
After the meeting, when there's actually useful information in there, I creating meeting minutes that I share around so that it can be useful to others as well (eg decisions, actions, important points made, etc).
Totally agree. Mine are really just memory joggers so that I can if necessary create a brief record-of-actions-and-decisions email immediately after the meeting. Once I've done that I almost never look at them again.
If someone whiteboards a diagram or similar, I photograph it if I can.
It really does seem to have benefits for any activity that's primarily about actual thinking or creativity, as opposed to busywork or digging through documentation.
I'm guessing a lot of the benefit is that screens are associated really strongly with the habit of procrastinating or scrolling rather than focusing.
Also good advice with ennunciation and typing.
