Who this helps

Professionals with ADHD who leave meetings with vague action items or lose the thread after context switching.

Use this when

  • Meetings create decisions but the follow-through disappears.
  • You need a capture ritual before switching into the next call.
  • Action items are spread across chat, notes, memory, and email.

How to use the template

  1. Write the decision before leaving the meeting.
  2. Name the owner for each action.
  3. Capture the next visible step, not just the project name.
  4. Set a follow-up date or handoff point.
  5. Send a short confirmation when needed.

Common questions

When should I fill this out?

Use it in the final two minutes of a meeting or immediately after, before another context switch wipes out the details.

What if the meeting has no clear decision?

Write the open question and owner. Capturing uncertainty is better than pretending the next step is obvious.
