Embracing A Posture of Readiness
I used to be caught off guard by some information.
You know how it works. You’re in some kind of meeting, whether large or one-on-one, and all of a sudden some important information is shared. Whether it is a date, something that you need to take action on, or just a good quote that you would want to remember, much of this stuff often passes us by. And by us I mean me. Or more often than not I would try to scribble it down on the nearest piece of paper, or on the meeting agenda.
Here’s what would happen, though.
Days later when I wanted that particular date or quote, I would shuffle through the papers where I thought the info was. Sometimes I’d find the info and sometimes I wouldn’t.
Has that ever happened to you before? It’s surely happened to me more often than I’d like to admit. So I started being disciplined about not leaving the house without my moleskin notebook. This has helped me embrace a posture of readiness.
It’s funny because when I was younger I noticed that my dad would always carry around this green canvas notebook. Now I know why.
I know I wrote a little about it in this post, but I couldn’t help myself. It’s been a huge blessing for me, and I wanted to share it again with you. Now there is one central notebook that is the repository for any information when I’m away from my laptop. And here again is the little hack I use to carry a pen with my moleskin.
It’s working for me anyway. What’s working for you?
