"Write down the thoughts of the moment. Those that
come unsought for are commonly the most valuable."
Francis Bacon
Post it notes continuously pop up throughout our day, trying to get our attention. They arrive in numerous forms to either be seen, heard, felt, breathing or all of them simultaneously. These pieces may appear when we are in the middle of a task, but by quickly jotting them down for later use, the message will be reenforced.
At the onset, we may think something is odd or somewhat off, but that is to get our attention. There are individual memos, but when pieced together, there can be an array of information. No writing skills are required as simply jotting down the gist helps the memory to retain the information.
We may see a stranger who reminds us of someone. There may be a lyric to a song that validates current decisions. Casual physical contact may trigger repressed feelings we have been ignoring. Making quick notes throughout the day will increase recall. At the end of the day reviewing what was jotted down, a significant message appears.
