One thing I forgot to mention is that in my notes, I use a mechanism to differentiate between client vs internal team actions / questions etc. I try to do it by colour but sometimes it's just too difficult to swap pens so sometimes write a 'C' against client specific stuff :) PS: My Invisalign is in....can you tell?
This was soooooo helpful, thank you for making this video! I work as an assistant to a Real Estate Broker and I was hoping to find ways to do my job more efficiently. If you made another video around this topic, I would ask you to describe how you prioritize tasks effectively. I want to work quickly and efficiently, any tips are appreciated!
This has been so insightful... I agree, there is no need to feel pressured to write everything down. Being organised in how you structure your notes is very useful. Great tips!
This is exactly the video I was looking for. Yes, please, do another video about this topic :) I also like notebooks so much, so... let’s show them :) You’re very talented.
Wow! That was, by far, the most efficient video on meeting note taking I have ever seen! Not only did you teach me a system of note taking that was easily learned in about five minutes, you actually gave tips that provided me with insight into what to say during an upcoming interview for an executive assistant position that I would truly love to land. Thank you! You certainly have a new subscriber!
Thank you so much for sharing your tips! I usually tend to write down every single word cause I am worried that I will miss something important 😅. I like how you folded one page to create a new chapter, so simple but I have never even thought about it! 😄 Definitely gonna write your tips down and will use it during my future meetings! 😊
Omg I used to until my hand used to hurt, sometimes people record meetings now so that could be an option? Haha folding a page gives me life!! Just so nice to separate it. Aww thanks, let me know but this one is how I write minutes: th-cam.com/video/O38qGQYTERA/w-d-xo.html
@@KajolPhadnis The long hour plus the initiatives. I'm hoping I don't get burnt out. Also learning how to do power points well and taking the right kind of bites. Also selling myself to get on good projects! Thanks for replying!
@@DrAwesome9 You won't get burnt out if you set expectations and honestly, depending on the project you won't always have long hours :) Don't take too much on....ease yourself in!!!
Thank you Kajol for the video on the topic of note taking! Appreciated the point early on about respect/rudeness by taking notes on the laptop! Manners (hopefully) live!!! (Sorry included hopefully in brackets as I don’t want to jinx things, you seem good hearted and I appreciated it), Raza :)
I am grateful for the experience you share with us because it is really helpful but I think it would be more effective if you could slow down the speed with which you share - too frantic. Try doing it slower please 🌹🌹
hey @kajol, it's a great video. I totally agree with you, we shouldn't write everything but few key highlights only and categorize them properly. But being honest, keeping two dairies along with multiple pens and use all of them at the same time while focusing on meeting, doesn't sound like a too much trouble???
This video shows how to take notes in business meetings using paper & pen. I read somewhere that it is rude & not always possible to take notes in business meetings using laptop or tablet. Is this true? I am a newbie & I am familiar with taking class notes on tablet using apps. But why business world still choose paper & pen?
Hi Karol, thanks for these highly informative videos ! Keep up the excellent work. One question - I’m working from home and looking for a good comfortable chair, any recommendations ? What one do you use ? Thanks !
a very dumb question - how do you decide which sized notebooks to use? I still love A4 but am the only one the bring the clunky thickest A4 in. The small bound black notebooks look so professional but :( makes writing difficult
I know, it's so tough. When I joined work I used to take in an A4 but realised that it was just too big and clunky to take everywhere. Most people take an A5 because it's just easier to carry. I would just say that do what makes you comfortable and most easy to write etc. I've gotten used to writing in an A5 and realise it's the quality of the paper which makes it easy for me to write or not :)
Hey Kajol! Love your vids! I have a random question: where is your desk from in yours vids? I’m going to start my first internship as an analyst next summer, and it most likely will be from home, so I wanna set up a nice work space, and I’m having trouble finding good quality work stations / desks online rn
Hey Irina. Actually, the desk is 15 years old! It came with the house, the owner was a builder and made it from scratch. I defo would recommend an electronic standing desk so you can stretch legs too :) Omg amazing - have you tried IKEA? I've found some awesome TH-cam videos which customise them to make them look prettier :)
Kajol Phadnis Patel, management consulting Thanks for the suggestion :) I will def check IKEA out! What is the length of your desk if you don’t mind me asking? I will have two monitors, so I want good space. You seem to have the perfect set up so I wanna buy the same size as you.
If I was so good at remembering everything, I wouldn't be watching this video. You have too complex of a method while the speakers speak at their own pace, which is often fast. It is so hard to put down the gist of message when information is tevhnical or have complex procedural step. How do you then takes notes? You dont. You just listen and absorb info. Listen iintently so you can remember as much info as possible
A really usefully video, thank you very much Kajol 🤗 I look forward to finding out more about your note taking systems. I found this one of the best TH-cam videos on the topic 🌟 ... can you please show us an example of a finished set of notes? Many thanks ⭐
My pleasure 😊 I'll do more on note taking systems and how to adapt it based on what you're going into!! I might show one on my Instagram but would need to be no confidential data so probably not one from my work notes!

Thank you Kajol! I don’t know what an invasilign thingy is, sorry I feel foolish but I mean well, Raza :)
I don’t see it lol
My confession: You're just too beautiful, l focus more at your face than on your words...my apologies
Kajol is the most insightful, well-spoken, and helpful consultant on TH-cam. Super happy to have such a great online advisor :)
Wow, thank you! Very kind!!

Very useful! I really like the organisation of how you write notes in your book.
Thank you - I think everyone has their own style and this is mine but defo worth taking what you think is useful and creating your own :)

I just got hired as an analyst at deloitte for after graduation and I love your videos. Being a consultant seems so stressful. Im terrified.

Do you have any advise of taking notes when people argue?

First time meeting with the managers tomorrow... and was assigned to do minutes along with my co-worker 😅 I'm feeling nervous.
You got this. Give yourself some time after the meeting to collate your notes ans
Hello, I can imagine that you are very busy. But you did upload anything on a while. Are you oké? Greetings from the Netherlands.

Talking about individual actions, do you mean a statement or conversation made by a person.
