Write It All Down
While blog hopping this morning, I happened upon this quote. Somewhere I remember seeing it in the past, but for whatever reason it hit home this morning, and I thought I would share.
“I write down everything I want to remember. That way, instead of spending a lot of time trying to remember what it is I wrote down, I spend the time looking for the paper I wrote it down on.”

Yeah. So if we are doing our job and trying to declutter our lives, we won’t be spending time to look for anything because we would know just where it was. Unfortunately I have no way to declutter my mind, which means I do have to write things down to organize them.
I have a notebook that I keep on my desk. I have a purse that’s larger so the notebook slides right into it and I can take it places with me. I am a freelance writer for work, and I am always needing to jot things down - there is nothing like a fresh, clean notebook for listmaking, information, directions places, phone numbers, etc. The page that is opened next to me, has four ideas for articles on my other blog, an address of a wrong number that called me yesterday (don’t ask), the phone number for our riding stable, a friend’s cell # and a “we’re out of this” grocery list. LOL And there is still plenty of room on that page to continue on.
I did forget to mention all the doodles too.
I love that quote up there. It’s my motto.
Oh, and I’m still slightly buried (though maybe not as much) under cookbooks. I am hoping to have that project completed by this afternoon, so I can find a new project downstairs to work on. I’ll take pictures and keep you informed.
