How do I type the minutes in the most efficient way?

Use a laptop at the meeting to take the minutes as the meeting is progressing, then edit later if you need to. If you really want to be world’s best practice, then put the laptop onto a dat projector so the meeting can see the minutes as you are typing them. This is what the best minute takers do.
