What if all the ideas you have gotten in your life were actually brilliant multi-million-dollar ideas but you just can’t remember what it was when you get home. We often get to think of amazing concepts but because we might be in a hurry to do something else, you tend to put it away thinking it will come back to us when we are free. Majority of the time, it doesn’t and that makes us sad. I have learnt to trust that inner voice within always dropping hints. I know I am not the only one who has experienced this before. So, earlier this year, I decided to keep with me a small book and a pen, call it a diary if you may. This helps me keep track of all the crazy thoughts that runs through my mind.

Another reason why you should do this is to help you make sure you follow a plan. Say, you plan on making a particular amount of money for a year. The best way to keep track of how far you have gotten will be to put down your progress. The probability of you making it all at once is highly improbable but you will definitely make something everyday or week to help you get closer to the specific amount you are after. By writing these amounts down, it will show how much you are left to get and how long you have left to get that. This strategy may come off as a lazy approach but it works and that is what matters. Some may choice to record their process on tape recorders, that works too.

I believe we all can get somewhere if we give it a try. No matter how small that idea may be, we can make something out of it if we write in down and start acting on it. We can give ourselves deadlines and track our progress this way. I find it to be easier and when you start, you will be compelled to finish it.

I guess you are absolutely right about this. If someone want to be great in life, he or she must set a target. Like you said there are some idea that just come to our brain at that particular time but if we are unable to draft it down or put it in ink like you said at tgat particular time, we tend losing it.
I for example, every new year, i awlays set some goals or draft sone plan out e.g what i am going to achieve for this year or for this half year and i tend and strive working towards the plan and target for that year and truly it has helped me a lot in my various life aspect.
I guess you are right, tgat is what we need sonetimes. When we get hold of a new idea, we should try writing it down and so as not to forget. Thank you for sharing this with us
I am glad you got the message just as I intended to give. Keep on keeping on @adenijiadeshina
You convinced me, plans are important. Even though I have small possibilities now, I can start doing something small and focus on it which will lead me to the goal. When I look at some people's progress they had nothing in the beginning yet continued their crap. Now they have prospering channels/profiles etc. Thank you.
That is totally true @tinytiger. Many people i also know who came from nothing are today enjoy a different type of lifestyle altogether just because they followed a written down plan.
Thanks mate.
Documenting things like this can give us enough strength to pursue after them,it would help to manage our time and resources wisely.
How to get what you want is not as difficult as knowing what you want.
I can say their is a difference since I've been keeping records too.
I like this part a lot.
And that is why some find it easy to get what they want too. They document it and follow it carefully until every detail is fulfilled.
That's the spirit, writing our wants down would help in pursuing after them till accomplishment...
You are awesome
@kwakumax you say the true.When have ideas the plan is very important
Excatly
I'm using the same technique. It works for me. You can also write down your ides and plans on smartphone.
Lovely. So long as it is penned down, there is a likelihood of you following up.
This is a very encouraging post @kwakumax, I always had this issue until I adopted this approach of going around with a pen and a jotter. Though, practically, it's not easy to go everywhere with a jotter, so I recently started using the memo apps on my cell phone (like microsoft onenote) to take notes and pen down ideas. As we all know, your phone is your closest pal. It has really helped a great deal and this post has just served as a reminder for me to continue. Keep it up!
I am glad my post inspired you to continue. Mobile phones today are wildly underestimated and that is sad. I am glad you have a great use for yours too.
It is only a dream until you write it down. Then and only then...is it a plan!!
Exactly. Only then will it become a plan.
Excellent idea l am starting to focus more on that
now that my daughter is going to College.
