Taking Notes
How do you take notes when someone is speaking at a meeting? It is difficult for me to balance listening to a presentation and summarizing key messages on notes. I tend to miss what speaker said by concentrating on the comprehension, while focusing on taking notes prevents me from grasping the overview.
Note-taking is too valued in the school education. Especially at public schools in Japan, class notes are evaluated to see how students have proactive attitude toward classes and ability to express themselves. This education has led some students to overfocus on sophistication of notes. They make their handwriting more beautiful and decorate sentences by highlighting with various colors.
I had studied at a private high school and been taking notes directly on my textbooks. As a result, I am still not good at taking notes without pre-reads. If I had learned basic note-taking skills at a high school, if not public schools, it would be helpful for my current work.
ミーティングで誰かがしゃべっているとき、皆さんはどのようにノートをとっていますか？プレゼンテーションを聞くことと要点を要約してノートに書き留めることのバランスを取るのが私には難しい。意味の理解に集中するとメモが漏れてしまうし、一方でノートを取ることに集中すると話の流れがつかめなくなってしまう。
学校教育においてノート取りは重視されすぎている。特に日本の公立学校では、授業ノートは成績評価の対象であり、授業への積極的な姿勢や表現力が評価される。こうした教育により、一部の生徒はノートの美しさに異常なこだわりをみせ、字をより美しくみせたり文章を色とりどりにハイライトすることに力を注いでしまっている。
私は私立の高校に通っていて、当時は教科書に直接メモを取っていた。その結果、いまだにレジュメなしにノートを取ることに不慣れだ。公立学校ほどではないにせよ、もし高校で基本的なノートスキルを学んでいたら、今の仕事に役にたっていたことだろう。

Note taking in meetings is a difficult skill to learn. Are you taking notes in an English context?
Maybe you can use a speech-to-text dictation software, and then summarize the meeting later.
