Have you ever put a piece of paper aside to work on later yet when you go to pick it up you can’t remember what the next step was or where you left off?
I know in the past I have done this and I found it very frustrating. Here is a quick trick that is easy to do and effective and I would like to share with you.
When you have an important task to perform with a paper yet need to do it at a later date, I find the best thing to do is make a note on it now as to what your next step is specifically.
Marking down the deadline, what you did last with it and who or what you need to do next. This way the next time you grab that paper you won’t have to think hard about what you were going to do with it.
So many times we start something yet can’t finish it right then, so we put it aside. The trouble starts when you pick it up again and have to replay events in your head to try and remember why you put it down in the first place or what you needed to do next.
Try this next little technique, it should greatly improve the chances that the next time you grab your paper you will very quickly know what to do and thus save yourself time in investigating or trying to remember what you needed to do.
