Let the tool sort your notes.
Write however you like during the call, then paste it in. The six areas come back filled, ready to carry forward.

// Experiment 07 · Knowledge work
Turn the meeting into a ledger.
Not a summary — a record of what the meeting changed: the decisions, the commitments, the questions still open, and what happens next.
Or read what it is and why it works first.
// 01 · What it is
Six areas, every meeting.
A ledger entry holds the same six areas every time, so while the meeting runs you always know where the thing you just heard goes.
- 01
Notes
Context that changes how the rest reads
- 02
Questions
Points to clarify, ask, or challenge
- 03
Decisions
Choices made during the meeting
- 04
Commitments made
Who agreed to deliver what
- 05
Waiting on others
Needs your name to be told apart
- 06
Next interaction
Why and when the work should continue
// 02 · Why keep one
Two habits behind it.
The areas give you the shape. These two are why the record is worth keeping, whichever route you take.
- 01
Be your own summariser.
You decide what mattered and write it in your own words. The tool expands and sorts around that judgement — it doesn’t make it for you.
- 02
Own the record.
Your framing, your commitments, your file — not an automated transcript belonging to whichever notetaker was in the room.
// 03 · Two ways in
Two ways to start one.
Write however you like and let the tool sort it after, or fill the six areas yourself on a blank sheet. Both are below, in this order.
Take the blank framework.
Print it, or open it in Notion, Word or Markdown, and fill the six areas as the meeting runs. No AI, no email, no sign-up.
The section after that
// 04 · Route 01
Try it on a meeting.
Paste the notes or the transcript. The six areas come back filled, ready to carry forward.
What you paste goes to OpenAI, which sorts it into the six areas. OpenAI does not use it to train its models and keeps abuse-monitoring logs for up to 30 days. GiscardLabs stores neither your pasted content nor the entry it produces. Ask for the entry by email and only your address and consent record are kept, for 24 months. Privacy Policy
Optional. With your name, only the actions the notes attribute to it are split out as yours; leave it blank and every commitment the tool finds stays in one area with whatever owner the notes give it — nothing is attributed to you.

// 05 · Route 02
The blank framework.
One page, four formats. Take whichever one fits the tool you already run meetings in.
- Paper
A4 sheet
For writing by hand. Print it and fill the six areas as the meeting runs.
- Notion
Notion template
For Notion workspaces. Import it and the six areas arrive as a page, commitments already tickable.
How to get this into Notion
- Download the file above — it saves as Meeting Ledger.md.
- In Notion, open Settings in the sidebar → Import, choose Text & Markdown, and pick the file. Quicker if you are already in a page: type / and search for the importer.
- The import arrives as a page called Meeting Ledger. Duplicate it for each new meeting.
Importing works in Notion on desktop and web — not in the phone app.
Menu renamed? Notion’s own import guide
- Word
Word document
For Word, Google Docs or Pages. The same one-page sheet, typed into instead of written on.
- Markdown
Plain Markdown
For Obsidian, Apple Notes or any editor. Copy the structure, or keep the file.
