I keep several logs (I'm a product manager):

1. a "Weekly Notes" file where I track meetings or other notes that come up 2. a separate 1 on 1 file for each recurring 1 on 1 meeting that I have 3. a "Customer Meetings" file for tracking notes from customer meetings 4. a "[customer name]" file for notes from meetings with important/key customers 5. a Pomodoro Google Sheet file that I use to log my daily tasks and how much time I spend on them- each task is categorized and feeds into a "Summary" sheet that tells me how much time I'm spending on specific categories of activities month to month.

My usual workflow is to track meeting notes in my "Weekly Notes" file and review all notes in that file at the end of each week. I either delete information that's not valuable, move "valuable" information to specific files from #2-4, or create tasks in my to do list (which then feeds my Pomodoro sheet), so at the end of each week the "Weekly Notes" file is completely empty.
