I have been following a hybrid quadrant method for my meeting notes recently and have really enjoyed the process. The quadrant method has gained some popularity as the method that Bill Gates used to use for his meetings. Your paper is split into four areas, notes, questions, to-dos, assignments. This visual categorization has allowed me to cut down on time looking for information from a meeting and has streamlined my thought process. In addition to this quadrant, I have a topic of the meeting, talking points if it is a meeting I am running and then a next steps section that acts as a one line summary of the topic for the next meeting if it is a recurring one

What's the difference between todo and assignment?

[cphills]

To-do's for other attendees of the meeting. This is for awareness of actions others are taking after the meeting so I have a full understanding of who is doing what.

[zigzaggy]

Not OP but I assume one gives assignments and receives to-dos.

[SNACKeR99]

I believe it means the work needs delegation.

[cphills]

Yes you are correct. To-do's for other attendees of the meeting.
