I always bring an iPad with Apple Pencil to meetings, and that’s what the 80th issue of Switch to iPad is all about.
When I’m not writing books, newsletters, and blog posts about iPads and other things, I spend my time working with clients at Divide & Conquer, my digital agency. As anyone who’s ever done client work knows, it involves meetings. The pandemic years have made those meetings mostly video, but the physical meetings are back now, so I figured I’d talk a bit about the benefits of using an iPad in meetings, rather than a laptop.
Now, me, I take countless notes. I take notes to remember things later, but it’s also how I process things. Most people take notes in meetings, so that’s not anything new, but how you do it matters.
Imagine a scenario where you’re four people around a table, each one with their laptop open, eyes glued to the screen, keys smattering, as the meeting starts. The keys continue to smatter, and you can’t really tell if it’s note-taking, or if people are just checking their email. It’s a wall of laptops, with unknown things happening behind them.
