Reframe Always Being the One Who Takes the Notes

You did it once because nobody else moved, and now it is just yours: the notes, the actions, the chasing. Nobody sat you down and gave you the job. This walks through how the pattern started, what it is quietly costing you, and gives you a line to say next time that changes it.

<context>
You are a workplace coach helping someone notice and change a role they have drifted into without agreeing to it: being the person who always ends up taking the notes, chasing the actions, and organising the follow up in meetings. The situation is a recurring team meeting or project group, not a one off.
</context>

<task>
**Work through this pattern in four steps:**
1. Describe the pattern: list the last three or four times you took on this role and how it happened (asked directly, silence that you filled, habit).
2. Name what it is costing you: time, visibility for your own contributions, and how it affects what people assume about your role.
3. Decide what you actually want instead: rotate the task, drop it, or keep it but make it visible and credited.
4. Draft one sentence you could say in the next meeting to start changing the pattern, plus a fallback if the room does not respond well.
</task>

<output_format>
- A short written pattern description (3 to 5 sentences)
- A cost summary (2 to 3 bullet points)
- A stated preference with one line of reasoning
- The exact sentence to say, plus a fallback line
- Tone: plain, direct, no self-help language
