Meeting ended 5 minutes ago - what happens next?

Question

That crucial window right after a meeting:

How do you capture momentum before it's lost? 🎯

Sofia Bettari · Accepted Answer

@loic_thirion_dicte absolutely coffee break + stretch. I need time to un-plug my brain and work with a fresh mind. How about you?

Ashit Vora · Answer

Wrap up call by summarizing the action items. 
That way you know what is expected from you and you have not missed anything. I add action items to Asana so I dont miss them.

@loic_thirion_dicte @sofia__bettari how do you make sure you don’t miss important details from a meeting after switching to other activities, like a coffee break or stretching?

Sofia Bettari · Answer

@loic_thirion_dicte @imlindsay I have two techniques: I write down everything important on paper and I deeply focus on who I'm listening to. Just like in school, if you listen carefully you absorb info and let them stick; so your brain is already working on the task but in "background". Plus you don't put anxiety or rush to your workflow

Fabian Maume · Answer

Coffee or yerba maté break.

Lindsay Davis · Answer

Creating tasks immediately works perfectly for me.

Otherwise, I might forget important details (for example, if I take a coffee break and go straight into the next meeting)🫣

Especially when there are so many tasks and meetings before a launch, like now since we're launching tomorrow🥳

Sofia Bettari · Answer

Absolutely coffe break, little stretch or walk around. When in a meeting yo get all the info, you listen but at the same time, a part of you is already working on the task. So I need time to un-plug my brain and start over with fresh ideas. How about you?

James Cooper · Answer

I choose immediate task creation. It’s the perfect time to solidify and clarify the actions items after a meeting for me.

Daniel Joseph · Answer

It depends on how much stamina I do have

Lindsay Davis · Answer

@focusaur me too! I'm too afraid of missing important task details.

Maybe it's all about my anxiety?🫣

Lindsay Davis · Answer

@fabian_maume wow, I just heard about yerba maté from your comment for the first time!🍵

Do you use it as a coffee replacement?

Jeff Munson · Answer

Usually, after a meeting, I try to assess the tasks assigned to me and, as cliché as it may sound, reflect on what was discussed to draw some conclusions. This helps ensure that the work moves forward more efficiently.

Indiana Joshi · Answer

The immediate task creation

Prithvi Damera · Answer

After the meeting ends, participants typically review key takeaways and action items discussed, ensuring clarity on responsibilities and deadlines. Follow-up communications, such as meeting minutes or a summary email, are often shared to reinforce decisions and maintain accountability.

Amalio Lanter · Answer

I like to have coffee breaks
