One of the books I reviewed recently had a really helpful tip in it. Get a small notebook and carry it with you ALWAYS. Put all your notes into it - phone numbers, appointments, to-do lists, etc. That way you always know where everything is and you always have the list with you.

I've tried it and it really is quite helpful. Suddenly you're not hunting for scraps of paper - you know the info is in your notebook. All those lost minutes really add up!

Does anyone else do this?

Yup, I have for years! I use mine to jot down creative ideas, too. My hubby has a whole drawer full of tiny notebooks filled up over the past 30 years.

In work terms, years ago, I had a boos who steered me towarda an "Action Pad". It's something I rebelled against at the time (I thought I could hold everything in my head), but have used ever since both inside and outside work! I use A5 size notebooks (not sure how sizes equate in the US), preferably with margins which give me space to write notes. For the action parts I start with a date, list actions and tick off and date when I have done them. I also use the notebooks for notes through the day, so tend to use the right hand side of the notebook for actions and the left hand side for notes. Because I always have a notebook with me I know I can jot things down when needed; prefer to keep work ones and personal ones separate, and the personal ones tend to be smaller.

I do use my phone occasionally when I don't have a pad with me, but for me there is something nice about the physical act of writing that helps to solidify the information in my head smile
