Mental Notes

Mental Notes

“Ideas can come from anywhere and at any time, The problem

with making mental notes is that the ink fades very rapidly.”

Rolf Smith, Forward Thinker and Author

 

As I see it . . . . . . .

Mental notes

I can share with you from personal experience making mental notes are soon forgotten.

Over the course of a day . . . . I’m driving to meetings and appointments . . . . working with customers . . . . speaking to groups . . . . conducting training . . . . in meeting . . . . and in consulting.

In a flash you get an idea and you make a mental note on the idea with the intention of acting on it . . . . and left on its own the mental note the ideas fades from your memory very quickly.

What I have found that works best for me is . . . .

I carry (3x5) index cards in my shirt pocket to make a quick note of the idea. It works great when I’m in a meeting without disturbing the other people in the room or for saving a fast idea or thought before I lose it.

I also use a digital voice recorder when I’m flying and driving . . . . and I can tell it’s very productive in saving your idea.

A mental note, fade very fast . . . . Making a written note or a voice note preserves the idea and gives you the ability to expend it and make the most out of it.
