One Place for Important Information
Choose one reliable home for the information you need to find again.
When details live on scraps of paper, in messages, and in your head, finding them can become a task of its own. You might try one notebook or one digital folder as the starting place for information you want to keep.
It does not need a clever filing system. Start with a few clear headings, such as appointments, household notes, and questions. When a new detail arrives, put it there or leave a pointer to its original location so you know where to look next.
Try it
- Choose one notebook or digital folder.
- Add two or three headings you actually need.
- Move one loose note into your chosen place.
- Tell a trusted helper where it is, if you wish.
Make it yours
There's no one right way. A few other directions people take it:
- Use a binder with large labeled tabs.
- Keep a paper index pointing to digital documents.
Create a free account to save ideas, make them your own and note what you've tried. Everything you save is private.
Put it into practice
Your journal, plans and notes are private to you.
