For years I have had a tendency to wander in my mind. I am working on a project such as a listing presentation, and the phone rings. This conversation triggers me to move to another task which in turn triggers the thought of another unfinished task. And so it goes...
We all have the most sophisticated tools today. Laptops, desk top computers, iPhone, iPad. You name it, we have it.
And yet sometimes the best way is to go back to an old tried and true source.
"The Notepad". One by the phone and one in the back pocket. Just add to do's to the bottom of the list, and work from the top to complete these important tasks. Simply crossing off completed tasks as they are finished and moving down the list.
With this simple tool, even though we get sidetracked more and more by unneeded, (and needed) interruptions, we are always back on track by simply "Looking to the spiral notebook".
WOW! Sometimes it's ok to take a step backwards, no?
