Well, it's unavoidable: you either do it at the meeting, or afterwards, but translating notes into actionable items on lists or in calendars is a required step. My written notes are pretty much action-oriented, somewhat GTD-style, but still need some processing anyway. Personally, I think note taking is easier than deciding on actions. Evernote etc. are great tools for collecting, but unless you assign meaning to the collected stuff, it's pointless. After transcribing my notes, I shred them right away. Simply because it forces me to be thorough and prevents me from collecting stacks of notes that *may* still have unprocessed items. I don't expect to be required to present any evidence, however, your situation might be different.
