I was in a particularly contentious meeting last week. It was a one hour meeting, it took two hours, and in the first hour we discussed nothing about the points I thought the meeting would be about. Voices were raised, people were interrupting each other.

I suggested that I should write the meeting minutes. I took several days to do so and I had a high level of anxiety while alternating between procrastinating (doing other tasks) and staring at the screen. I lost one whole night of sleep. In the end though, I had produced a document that I felt captured everyone's concerns and was a fair representation of what was really being discussed.

@clacke I find these tasks incredibly rewarding too to the point where I'm running our internal docs now 🫣

@wraptile Four years ago I had no idea I was good at this kind of thing!
