I don't know too much about Emacs' org-mode, but it looks like this is org-mode on paper. :)

Org-mode is great, but I think there's validity to his point that taking notes on a laptop during meetings (especially with external people) can come across as rude.

Running emacs on a tablet might alleviate this a bit (if you've got it flat on the table in front of you, at least people can see you're taking notes and not emailing / chatting). However, getting emacs / org-mode on my Android tablet has proven a bit challenging.

Meh, I think taking hand-written notes and typing them up later will be as fast as this and also be more searchable.

For meeting minutes that I need to take handwritten notes, I always put them in org-mode.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't use paper for note/task taking (more for journalling). I use org-mode for that stuff.

Would be interesting if there was a nice script to capture a BulletJournal spread and translate it to an org-mode entry...
