Make sense of your meeting notes

You open yesterday’s meeting notes and see “send the draft Tuesday”, “Jess might check the wording” and “ask about venue access”. They look equally certain on the page. Only one records a definite action.

Sort three lines before you tidy the rest

• Confirmed: Send the draft Tuesday. The notes record a deadline but give no owner, so leave the owner blank.
• Proposed: Jess might check the wording. Ask Jess before treating it as an assignment.
• Unclear: Ask about venue access. Turn it into a question for the group.

Try it with your own notes

Pick three lines and label each one. If you use AI, use notes you’re allowed to share and ask it to quote the line behind each action. Tell it to mark missing details as unknown. Check the answer against your notes, then put one verified next step in your calendar.
