Agendas and notes
Every 1:1 has two places to write: an agenda, for what you’ll cover, and notes, for everything else. Both are on the meeting’s Prep page and in meeting mode.
The agenda
Section titled “The agenda”An agenda item is a topic phrased as a question or a subject. You answer each one during the meeting, so “How’s the migration going?” works better than “Migration”.
On the Prep page you can:
- type into Add an agenda item… and press Enter
- drag an item by its handle to reorder it
- select an item to edit its wording, or use ✕ to remove it
Two or three items is usually enough. The agenda is a starting point, not a checklist to get through.
Mora’s suggestions
Section titled “Mora’s suggestions”Above the agenda, Suggested for this 1:1 shows Mora’s suggestions. They’re drawn from:
- your notes from your last 1:1 with this person
- follow-ups you said you’d return to
- their check-in answers, if they’ve replied
- their open goals
- their role, if you’ve assigned one
Each suggestion is a tile with a short heading and the fuller question behind it. Select Add to move one onto your agenda, where you can reword it like any other item. Ignore the rest.
If Mora has nothing to work from — a new report, no notes, no check-in — it says so rather than inventing a suggestion.
Every agenda item records whether Mora or you added it. The agenda and your notes are separate, so a suggestion you don’t use leaves nothing behind in either.
If you’ve written a role for this person, Mora reads it too, so its suggestions reflect what the job involves. About roles
The next meeting’s agenda
Section titled “The next meeting’s agenda”You usually won’t build an agenda from scratch. When you wrap up a 1:1, Mora drafts the next one’s agenda from what just happened, and you edit it there. It’s waiting on the next Prep page.
The Notes field is free-form and private to you. Use it for anything off the agenda.
- Notes save as you type. There’s no save button; ⌘S or Ctrl+S forces a save.
- You can use headings, bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, bulleted and numbered lists, checklists, and quotes.
- The notes on the Prep page and in meeting mode are the same document.
Find an earlier note
Section titled “Find an earlier note”The Notes tab on a person’s page collects the notes from every 1:1 in one place. Starred 1:1s appear at the top, above the list in date order.
You can star any 1:1, including past ones, because a star is a bookmark rather than an edit.
When notes lock
Section titled “When notes lock”Once a 1:1 is in the past, its notes and agenda become read-only, and a small lock appears on the card. Write what you need before the meeting ends, or during the wrap-up, where the notes are still editable.
Should this be a note or a goal?
Section titled “Should this be a note or a goal?”If it should still matter in a month, make it a goal. Goals carry from one 1:1 to the next, can be tagged, and show progress over time.
Notes and agenda items belong to the meeting they were written in.
