Several times I couldn't recall afterwards what had been decided at a meeting. I assumed it was my memory, but I realised I simply hadn't been listening properly. Now I always write something down, however short. Writing seems to have changed the way I listen. Q: Why did this person start taking notes? — They realised they hadn't been listening properly.
