OneNote has been a go-to note-taking app for Windows users. You can improve your productivity by adding some templates that will allow you to plan, take notes, and effectively schedule meetings. In this post, we will talk about some of the best OneNote Templates for Meetings.
OneNote Templates for Meetings
We are going to ask you to download templates from third-party carriers. We will also talk about some built-in templates. You can choose from a variety of templates using the built-in project overview template. To do so, open your notebook, and go to the Insert tab. Now, from the Pages section, click on Page Templates.
Now that we know how to access templates, if you are looking for some built-in and third-party OneNote Templates for meetings, check out the following recommendations.
- Detailed Meeting Notes
- To Do List
- Work Notebook
- Shared Notebook
- Monthly Calendar
Let us talk about them in detail.
1] Detailed Meeting Notes
Let us first talk about Meeting Notes. This template allows you to craft a meeting details memo by including information such as the date, time, location, and agenda. So, first, include the meeting agenda, attendees, announcements, updates on old items, a summary, and information on the next meeting.
You can access this template from the Business section, for that, you need to be in the Templates section. Expand Business by clicking on the drop-down arrow and then click on the Detailed Meeting Notes option. This will add the template to your notebook from where you can just start editing.
2] To Do List
To Do List is probably one of the most used OneNote templates, however, we will present you with three different variants for the same. First of all, expand Planners and then select one of the following options.
- Simple To Do List: This is similar to any other To Do list app, you will get various spots with checkboxes, you can make a list and once you are done with that particular task, just check the box.
- Project To Do List: The Project To Do list is similar to the previous one, but instead of spots, it has sections for Projects.
- Prioritized To Do List: Finally, we have a To Do list to segregate different tasks based on priority.
This list can be really handy as you can jot down things to discuss in the meeting. Especially, the Prioritized To Do list can help you create an outline for the things to discuss in the meeting.
3] Work Notebook
Now, let us talk about a third-party template. For that, we need to visit onenotegem.com, where we can find notebooks with preassembled pages for meeting notes, planning, travel, projects, and research. They have a wide selection of templates, pick the one you think can add value to your project and get on with it.
4] Shared Notebook
Shared Notebook is another template for Onenotegem.com that gives you various sections and that you can share with your teammates and anyone who is a part of that meeting. In that notebook, you can mention goals, schedules, meeting notes, and anything that’s important for that particular meeting.
You can share the notebook with everyone through mail or message, but the best part is, you can create a link to that notebook and send in the chats of that meeting. Just click on Share > Share Entire Notebook. There you will see various options to share the meeting. Make sure to grant view or edit privileges before creating the link or sending the notebook.
5] Monthly Calender
If you have a hard time remembering what meeting to end, try the Monthly Calendar. You can get the template from notegram.azurewebsites.net for free. You need to go to that website, sign in using your account, select the correct month and year, and then save the template. It will help you in keeping track of your upcoming meetings.
That’s it!
