ABW - Always Be Writing
Tuesday, January 15, 2008 – 6:30 am
This is a 4×6 notepad. Available at any stationer, office supply store or general retailer. Buy a pack, and keep a few pages with you at all times, along with your favorite style of ball point pen. Then write. Everything. Obsessively. Universal Capture is what David Allen calls it - “getting things out of your head.” It’s the essence of 43 Folders. Your brain has only so much energy for thinking up new ideas, and any energy it wastes holding old ideas just slows it down … so free yourself from the burden of having to remember everything, and just write it down.
Try it for 30 days. Before long, you’ll feel naked without a pen and paper.
