Little Black Book

Good morning,

Happy Friday! Today’s sunny note is so simple you might respond with, “seriously…that’s it?” But this is a great little tip to help stay organized, at home or at work.

Keep it together.

If you’ve ever grumbled, “I know I jotted it down somewhere…” as you shuffled around looking for a note, then you’re with me on this one. Instead of using little notepads, scratch paper or whatever is laying around to write on, keep one thick spiral notebook on your desk. (I like spiral because the pages fold flat.)

Train yourself to write every note, every scribble, in the book and nowhere else. What will happen next is like magic. All the little notepapers will disappear right along with the hassle of locating them. Plus, the record of notes can go back for months before it’s time for a new notebook.

I decided this idea is worth sharing because over time a number of people have commented about my notebook and their inclination to do the same thing after seeing it. I also originally copied the idea from another organized businessperson after seeing his notebook and saying to myself, “I can’t believe I’m not already doing that!” It’s been handy ever since.

Happy writing – and have a sunny day!
