Does anyone use ONE notebook for O3's and general day to day meetings? If so, are you able to go back and find what you're looking for easily?
Not familiar with the term "O3", but I always take meeting notes on a notebook with tear-off pages. After the meeting, the notes are processed and the pages are recycled. Actionable items go into my lists or calendar, waiting for's into the appropriate list, and reference goes into my reference system.Does anyone use ONE notebook for O3's and general day to day meetings?

Ah, I see... Well - for me, same goes for these kinds of meetings (process the meeting notes and toss them).Sorry, O3's stand for "one on one" meetings.... usually regular, standing meetings with my direct reports.

Yeah, that's what I'm doing (have done now)....I have a padfolio. One meeting, one page. Rip each page out and put on desk at the end of each meeting. Daily-ish, I go through them and add anything actionable to my Google Tasks, etc.Ah, I see... Well - for me, same goes for these kinds of meetings (process the meeting notes and toss them).

I just feel like it's kinda wasteful compared to a normal - notebook that opens left to right so I wanted to see what others do.
Sometimes I use my Rocketbook - as it's a 'whiteboard' book that you scan into your digital medium of choice, at least it's environmental friendly!Yeah, that's what I'm doing (have done now)....I have a padfolio.

I've come to accept that I'm never going to use the back side of my notebook pages, and I'm never going to use a page for more than one topic. One topic per page, the content always visible because it's always on only one side, removes a lot of mental/mechanical clutter.Yeah, that's what I'm doing (have done now)....I have a padfolio.

Okay, and then did you use that red Moleskine for all your other non-1 on 1 meetings? Or did you use a separate notebook or padfolio, etc.?For 1on1s (like recommended by Manager-Tools.com), when I had directs, I used a Red Moleskine notebook for taking notes and then I would process those notes by reviewing them and using a highlighter to mark them processed/reviewed. I'd also mark something with a different color highlighter if it was delegated. I starred items in the moment if I had a Next Action. Manager Tools has a 1on1 printout that I used for each person when I first started 1on1s, but at the time, I was traveling a lot and didn't want to take a bunch of individual binders with me.
