Our brains are made to solve problems, not really to store information (at least not like a computer or smartphone).
This is why it sometimes feels so hard to keep track of all the things we have to do in our daily lives and all the projects we hope to achieve. If we keep trying to memorize everything we need to do, it is very likely that we will be overwhelmed and end up forgetting something.
In order to better manage these tasks it is quite useful to have a system of note taking, it doesn’t really matter if it’s on a physical notebook, your phone or a whiteboard, what matters is that you find a system that works for you.
Why don’t you start simple this week? Make a list of your tasks with your tool of choice and after a week evaluate what went well and what were the challenges. With this informations you can tweak the system and repeat the process for the next week.
Eventually you will have a really good system that allows you to keep track of everything you need to do in your busy life.
