Helping you not have to remember what you keep forgetting anyway…

• Ever agree to do something for someone and then … totally forget?
• Ever had every intention of “remembering to remember” an important task and then subsequently … didn’t?
• Ever been stopped right-in-your-tracks by one of your amazingly pithy observations or insights that … disappeared as quickly as it arrived?

If so, chances are good that it happened because you didn’t write anything down. So, yeah, write ‘em down:

• to-dos
• reminders
• ideas
• outlines
• plans
• questions
• commitments you make to others
• commitments others make to you
• [insert your ideas here]

It makes sense on a number of levels:

1. Most obviously, you dramatically decrease the whole forgetting thing.
2. You also increase the probability of actually getting done the things you want to get done.
3. By writing everything down you can now give yourself full permission to … FORGET! Yes, that’s right! You see, once you realize that you routinely write down all the  things you want to remember, that means that you can rely on the fact that you DO write these things down, which means that you no longer HAVE to remember! Get what I mean?!  It’ll all be right there for you whenever you want a reminder of whatever IT is!

And that will do wonders for clearing the distractions (and static) from your mind so that you can be more fully present with whatever’s happening.
