Whenever I feel like something isn't working, I know I need to figure out a system to put in place. So, I've just done this with note taking, because I'm not a fan of taking notes for self-improvement in different areas of my life and then forgetting all about my notes because they're all mixed up in random notebooks!
I mostly use this system when I am watching informative YouTube videos, mind sweeping/brain dumping, or just web-surfing and coming across information that gives me ideas for my own projects.
So, after I purchased some index cards and an index card box, I made tabs for the different areas of my life.
So far I have:
Network Marketing
- for my business -
Simply Clean
- for my cleaning company -
Goals
- my goals, plus advice on goal setting -
Practice
- for ideas that I want to put into practice immediately -
Gratitude
- a log of my "wins" each day -
I'm thinking that my next tabs will include Health for recipes, and Secret OWL Society (of course) for blog ideas, Photoshop for techniques...
Yup, I think this system is going to stick. :)
I'm going to try this. I've been wanting to go through my 2013 journals and extract all the ideas I've forgotten about - this is a better way to house them because I always forget which journal I write a brilliant idea in. Bravo Michelle!
ReplyDeleteThank you Raye! Yes! Ideas are nothing unless they're acted upon.
