Writing it down
ByI was blessed with a fantastic memory. In fact prior to my teen years and the introduction of drugs and alcohol to my life when I didn’t need it I virtually had a photographic memory. I attended school when I felt like it and still passed everything because once I’d read a text book I could recall the detail.
I still have a very good memory and it is something I rely on very much. I am increasingly aware however that our society now runs on information overload and even we just can’t keep everything in our heads.
I realised this with a jolt just in the last 24 hours. I have for the first time in my life really started keeping a journal of my bible reading and associated thoughts. Reading it the next day I was amazed at what I had written and how much I had forgotten in just 1 day.
Jim Rohn rates keeping a daily journal as one of his life’s highest priorities and so I decided to try it. Well time will tell but after 2 days I am already a believer. If you struggle to order your thoughts, prioritise things or just remember important stuff when you want to why not join me in my journal experiment. I can tell already it is going to become a part of my daily life.

Dean, this sounds interesting. Could you please tell me a little bit more about your journaling. Are you writing down the thoughts you have during the day or are you recording the events that happen to you on a daily basis and thoughts associated with them?

I mostly write first thing in the morning, but as I get used to carrying a journal with me I am starting to use it for everything. Notes from meetings, sermon notes etc.
