How do you take notes in meetings?

Tablet or Notebook? Moleskine, anyone…..

Three years ago, the move from laptops and notebooks to tablets in meetings was noticeable.

Trends in Usage

Laptops are getting smaller, only to be augmented by huge screens on desks, loose keyboards and additional disk drives. (Although the laptop is effectively being used as a mobile disk drive.) I assume that, in some cases, this set up is duplicated in home offices.

When did having it all become doing it all?

Or being all things to all people… Ruth Bader Ginsburg , U.S. Supreme Court Justice: “You can’t have it all at once. Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough.” As a mother, a wife and a business woman, I have thought a great deal about this.    My article about #OutsideWork generated some personal mail that asked me, inter alia: “How?” “What do I need to do to satisfy everybody that needs my full attention when I am with them?”  My children, my boss, my partner – they all need me to be the best that I can be, and I am barely keeping my head above water.” “I don’t want to be selfish, but there is no time for me.” And a poignant comment: “This article made me remember that there must be time for “self” but I am not finding it.  I am mentally and emotionally exhausted and nobody seems to care” There is no one answer.  It’s different for those in a committed partnership, compared to sing...
