Make a list. Write it down. Type it. Dictate it.
Whatever you do, don’t forget to remember it.
Innovation can come from the most unlikely of observations. Breakthrough often comes when you’re least prepared to consider it.
Which means you need to get in the practice of writing down your thoughts.
Write down what needs to be done.
The busier you are, the better you need to be with using smart tools to get the ideas out of your head into a platform that can remind you what is important and when to do it.
If you’ve ever found yourself forgetting a great idea, forgetting to follow up on a relationship, or forgetting what else needs to be done, then you already know the guilty feeling of not performing at an elite level.
You’re know you’re not as productive and powerful as you could be.
If you want to make the most out of each day and create a life of success and satisfaction then you need to take steps right now to improve how you remember.
