Rose Ann,
I am happy to see you say that you write down your ideas. So often, small teams don’t feel there is a need to codify communications, which could not be further from the truth. Having an archive or record of your meetings and ideas is critical as you grow or as your projects gain traction. It is also helpful to keep all your communications in one place so that they can easily be presented to your supervisor if requested.
Congratulations on your diligence in this area!
Dr. Jamie Morley
