The job, in plain English

Turn meeting notes into a next-actions list, not another diary page.

3 steps

  1. Dump the meeting notes into Obsidian.
  2. Reduce them to next actions: verbs only, an owner if someone was named, a date if someone said one.
  3. Scan the list, delete anything that isn't a real move and put the rest where you'll see it Monday.

Watch out: No "we discussed" and no polite fluff: if a line isn't a real next move, delete it.

The vault holds the noise. You keep the actions.
