Everyone is wired differently.

I personally never take notes. If I try to write or type notes in a meeting or while someone is talking I miss what is being said while I write/type. If I am engaged in what is being said, I remember it. Most people where I work come to me to refresh their memories on what was discussed or planned in meetings. I'm just wired to listen and remember.

I know some people that need to write notes down to put the info in their own voice, but then never need to refer back to those notes because the act of writing it solidified it in their brains.

Other people need to write everything down and refer back to it constantly.

Whatever works for you is what you need to do.
