“Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that come unsought for are commonly the most valuable.” – Francis Bacon Making things more visible is key to productivity for some in today’s digitally distracted world. Our brains can only hold a certain amount of information - usually said to be 5 + or – 2. Think about how well you remember what you thought about doing yesterday at lunch. Research is also pointing to the fact that we also remember things differently when we grab a pen and paper and write things down, rather than put it in our device. How much energy have you spent this week trying to keep ideas in your head? Dedicating a small notebook to ideas, plans, and resources can be a great memory jogger, and creates a great capsule to reflect back on periods of your life on. I just came across a very small notebook (think smaller than the size of an index card) that accompanied me over 3 months of travel and work in Central America when I was 21. Just seeing it, unlocked a series of memories I had not thought of for years! What is the practice you want to get into in terms of writing things down? For those that like high level bullet-form ideas, be sure to check out the Monthly Daily Planner – One Line a Day in the PlanDoTrack and Coaching Business Builder Planners. It only takes one minute to jot some ideas down! Enjoy your writing! Jennifer Jennifer Britton - Potentials Realized
