Great conversations are few and far between, and our memories might be a lot faultier than we think, so it pays merit to try to preserve what we can, while we still can.
I've gradually adopted a philosophy of dividing conversations into:
Formal Conversations: Separate from my meeting notes divider in Notability, I have a "subject" (what Notability calls folders essentially) that is used to make quick notes (usually in bullet-point form, I find that I'm able to capture things quickly when I don't have to string together proper sentences) with heavy use of quotes to get the main gist.
Informal Conversations: My journal is the harbourer of a lot of wisdom that I get throughout daily living, though this isn't as consistent as I would like it to be (which is partly why I'm writing about this for this week), but one thing that has helped to consolidate this effort is by having a subject called "monthly recap" for both happy and insightful moments.
One day, I hope to smile while reading back at these, don't think enough time has passed for that to happen yet.
