Effective Note Taking in Meetings

Wanted to hear how you guys take effective notes while sitting in on meetings as an analyst.
Do you use pen and paper or type?
Any listening strategies or general note taking strategies you can share?
 

Personally, I have a hard time showing which information is most important as I'm jotting them down.
