The role of small notes is often underestimated, which is fundamentally wrong. After all, notes help us not to lose thoughts and ideas that came to mind unexpectedly, spontaneously and at the wrong moment.
Many great people took notes, but Thomas Edison is the founder of this approach to organizing affairs. After his death, the number of pages in his diary was counted. This figure was five million pages!
Five million! The figure is truly huge. So Edison wrote about 160 pages a day. Considering that he wrote down individual phrases and ideas, and not just wrote a solid text, the figure seems quite real.
To streamline his chaos of ideas and thoughts, Thomas Edison had to develop his own system for classifying data into folders, files, and so on. Now, in the age of computers and high technologies, we do not have to bother so much and make ToDo lists with such difficulty: everything will be done by a special application. It is a sin not to take advantage of this. If a great man like Thomas Edison understood the need to take notes in order not to forget anything, we certainly should not neglect it.
Taking a note on time will allow you to capture an interesting thought that you did not discern from the very beginning. Perhaps your idea will be a breakthrough for all of humanity. So be sure to record everything that comes to mind, and only then, reviewing, reject the unnecessary and choose the worthwhile.
