Somewhat OT, but tangentially related: One of my clients likes to tell me his work requirements by telling me long-winded stories about how he came up with an idea, what exactly happened, etc. that was useful at first but became extremely wasteful of time as years passed. I tried typing down notes while he talked, but it became too hard to write useful ones.

At some point, I resorted to keeping an audio recording of the whole meeting just to make sure I have something to come back to, in case my notes fail me.

I wouldn't do this for everything, but it helped me realize that an audio/video log like a dashcam video can work for certain scenarios.
