Why this matters

A one-page read of last meeting's notes changes how this meeting starts and how quickly it ends.

The 15-minute experiment

1. 1Before your next hard meeting, find the notes from last time you met with these people
2. 2Copy the decisions and open questions from those notes into a fresh document
3. 3Ask Claude: 'Here are notes from our last meeting. What is still open? What should I open with today?'
4. 4Read the one-pager it gives back
5. 5Print it or save it to your phone and take it into the meeting
6. 6Open it in the first minute and see how much faster the meeting gets to the point

Here are notes from our last three meetings. What questions are still unresolved? What should I bring up first today?

• Last meeting's notes found and copied
• Open questions and decisions listed
• Claude's summary fits on one screen
• You brought the summary into the actual meeting
• The meeting started faster than usual
