Start Meeting is a shortcut to automate your meeting workflow.

Simply start the shortcut when you're beginning your meeting. Do not disturb will be turned on, your volume will be muted and a notes template will be created in Bear.

Enter your meeting notes and any actionable tasks. Place any due dates in square brackets at the end of the line.

Eg:

Call Rachel [tomorrow]

Chase invoice [tuesday]

Call Brian [15/05]

Return to Shortcuts when the meeting is finished, do not disturb will be turned off, your volume returned to normal and you can then choose for your actionable tasks to be entered into Things or Reminders.

Each task will contain details of the meeting and a link back to the meeting note in Bear. Each actionable task in the Bear note will contain a link to the task in Things or Reminders.

If the Shortcut times out while you're writing your note in Bear, simply share the note using the share sheet to the "Start Meeting" shortcut and your tasks will be processed.

Any actionable tasks are saved to Things with a link back to the Bear note. The task in Bear has a link added to the Things task.
