I’m terrible at meeting notes. Not in the “I forget to take them” way, but in the “my notes look like a crime scene of half-finished sentences, misspelled names, and arrows pointing nowhere” way. I’ve tried structured templates, Cornell notes, bullet journaling, all of it. Nothing stuck because I can’t think and format simultaneously. Then I found NotebookLM, Google’s AI research a**istant, and realized I didn’t need to fix my note-taking. I just needed something that could make sense of the mess I was already creating.
