Below are a few tips so the task is not as daunting: Filling in the blanks I take minutes on a laptop so it is easy to make a template ahead of time which is based on the agenda.

I also drag items from my Inbox if someone sends me an email to advise they will be sending an agenda or some other item by a certain date. (Note: The original email will remain in your Sent items and a copy will open up in your Tasks notes page). I drag it to my Tasks and set a reminder so I can follow up whether the item was received.
