Chip’s B2B Tip #47 - Say What?

B2B Tip #47 - Your Mental Rolodex
.
At times, I'm not sure if I'm Blessed or cursed because my mind goes mach 2 all the time.

Yes - I wish I were more diligent about writing everything down. I'm "pretty good" at it, but I have a long way to go to get better ...

Sure - like so many others, I've spent a small fortune on DayTimers (something else to be diligent about) and I've bought the ubiquitous hand-held tape recorder (where is that thing?) ...

So - learning to work with my own weaknesses and shortcomings, I have reverted back over 40 years (not a very smooth thing for a guy who's supposed to be so high-tech to say) ... and I'm now using the darling of the schoolkids around the world ... the 3-ring binder and loose leaf paper.

Say what?

Why?

I don't want a PDA (remember the hand-held recorder ... where is that blasted thing?)

I don't want another gadget ... my cell phone is plenty for me.

I don't want to plug in and synch anything else ... enough is enough ...

So with my Jurassic Park technology I've just implemented ... my total overhead is a couple of binders and a pack of paper I already had, and my setup time less than 2 minutes. Sounds pretty efficient to me.

One for the car, another for my office ... simple! Total additional daily maintenance time ... less than one minute. Take the pages out of the 'car book' and put them in the 'office book.'

That's a system I can master quickly, with zero interruptions, and there's no goofy 4-pound manual to read to learn how to turn it on and use it ... ;-) ...

So - in this post I confessed a fault to you, admitted that I don't always think high-tech has all the answers, and I don't now have a bunch of new and expensive junk to lug around and keep up with ...

Problem solved.

"Rock On" is my vote.

So - if your mental Rolodex (your mind) goes faster than you can control (like mine) - this is the tip that might remind you of an "Old Faithful System" that has worked for decades and is just as viable today.

Now where is my blasted cell phone this morning?

All the best -
