Last week I did something I have NEVER done before. Yes, another first time.
I always have a notebook with me.
I use the notebook for work. You see, my job requires lists. And, I need to be able to cross off the items of that list.
Each day I do a new list. The most important thing goes at the top. Yes, a matter of priority. It is a good habit. A very useful tool to manage my workload.
Then, right at the back of my books, I write MY stuff. Things like :
- Manuscript
- RSVP for Philosophy Lecture
- Domain Name
- Haircolour
- Milk
But last week, I did something I have NEVER done before. Something that will change my life. Something my future self will definitely thank me for.
I started with the date. Then I wrote this note:
And, as it goes for me. Now that it is WRITTEN, it must be.
From now onward, I will incorporate my own dreams, ideas, follow ups, to do list in the FRONT of the Moleskine. Yes, a matter of priority. I still have to work through my real workload before I can focus on my “personal” work, but at least I get to SEE the content every hour of the day. It creates a certain harmony. That’s a step.
What is in the front of YOUR notebook?
I wish you LOVE in whatever it is.
