A month or so ago I decided to pick up some Field Notes Brand notebooks and start writing things down instead of trying to store them in my head.
- My FieldNotes Notebook
What an amazing difference it makes! I’ve been able to clear out idea’s and get much more accomplished just by developing this one simple habit.
I’ve been just sticking this thing in my back left pocket along with a pen, and making sure that if I hear or think of anything I want to remember, to just write it down.
The pretty much sum it up on the field notes website with this quote;
“I’m not writing it down to remember it later, I’m writing it down to remember it now.”

Yeah, a few of my friends always have pen and paper on them, and I definitely think it’s a good idea, but my pocket space is at a premium and I just haven’t made room yet. (Don’t like things in my back pockets, so I carry my wallet up front. Maybe a paper pad would be OK.)
