Learn it.
Memories are made to be remembered.

Live it.
I left the house yesterday to work outside while most people were still in bed under several layers of cover. There's not any glory in working in freezing conditions; I was just doing what was expected of me. But when I left home, one valuable piece of equipment was missing, namely my TODO. That's the name I've given my organizer that also serves as daily planner with Things to Do, task manager, project scheduler and idea incubator.

TODO is normally on my truck armrest as I drive or in my carrybag when I'm not. You see, when I think of something that needs doing or the Holy Spirit prompts me, I have to write it down or it I'll forget it for sure. And when I don't have my TODO, I'll use a voice recorder or the yellow note pad in my pocket for the same purpose. If I'd looked at my notes from the day before, I think I would have noticed that three events had become cross-scheduled overnight. What I learned by leaving TODO at home was that taking notes is only helpful if you read them.

Pray it
Thank You, LORD, for Your Word; the best notes ever recorded.
