Organizing Your Brain
How to maximize your strengthsWhen I was in high school, I read a book that may have saved my sanity, How to think intelligently. The central idea was to write everything down, to never trust your memory. From that point forward, I always carried a memo pad and pen.
If you think of all the million thoughts running through your mind, competing for attention, the only way to capture and process the most important items is to write it down. In the words of Saul Alinsky, most of us are just a collection of undigested experiences. Thoughts, things to do, things to remember just become more clutter in the ADD mind.
You need to find places for all those undigested thoughts.
