Preparing for a one-on-one: notes your manager never sees

Before a one-on-one, most people rely on memory and end up talking about the most recent crisis. A private preparation note changes the conversation: what did I work on, what blocked me, what do I want to ask.

The note is for you, not for the meeting document. It gives you an agenda built from your actual week.

Rixin Mind Journal is an Android journaling app I built for private reflection. Entries and insights are designed to stay on the device, so preparation notes can stay personal. The app has a free allowance, rewarded ads for additional use, and an optional monthly Pro subscription.

The best meeting prep is a five-minute note written before the meeting exists.
