Cultural Tip

In many Spanish‑speaking workplaces, taking quick notes during a meeting is expected, and the verb ‘apuntar’ is the go‑to informal command. For formal written instructions (e.g., in official minutes) you’ll more often see ‘anotar’ or ‘registrar’. Also, note that ‘horario’ can refer both to a specific time (e.g., 3 p.m.) and to a broader schedule (e.g., a class timetable), so context matters.
