There’s an old saying, “the palest ink is better than the best memory”. Write things down.
I use a journal – a hard cover book, and I have pens all over the place of different color ink – blue, red, black and green. I switch colors when switching topics or thoughts. It makes it easier to read later.
I write down goals, ideas, thoughts, facts, inspirational words, meeting notes, and things I learned. I always write a date at the top of the pages. By keeping one book, I don’t have loose notes and dog-eared yellow pads all over that get lost anyway.
Don’t use your head as a filing cabinet. Write things down.
Great thought. I also think the “old fashion” media of pen and paper is so much more valuable than doing this digitally now days. The old school process of writing and using the pen and paper seems to help the creative process and brings in an almost artistic perspective to thoughts, plans and goals.
