Launching soon!
The '2-2-2 rule' for action items. 2 mins right after the meeting to clarify tasks, 2 tasks max per person, 2 day check-in for quick blockers. Overcomplicating the system was actually killing our follow-through.

Success rate went up when we started using Slack channels for action items. It keeps everything visible and easy to follow up on.
Unfinished tasks? I tackle them by assigning clear ownership and deadlines right in the meeting notes
Here's what works for me after every meeting I summarize tasks and assign clear deadlines
Splitting larger tasks into smaller single-owner actions has made our tracking process more effective. It's simple nut works.
I like to set calendar reminders for tasks immediately after meetings to avoid forgetting them.
My go-to method is creating an action log during the meeting itself. Each item gets an owner a deadline and a status check in our next meeting. It's not perfect but it's made follow-ups much more structured.
