[] [Personal process notation]( “I’ll remember it later.” I’ll confess, I rarely do. It turns out, it’s easier to remember questions than answers. And tools like Google Docs and photos in the cloud give us a chance to build our own personal search engine. It takes 14 steps to construct the pages in one of my InDesign projects. Inevitably, when I return to the file after a few months, I forget some of them. I wrote myself a one-page manual in a Google Doc, and there it is, with links and screenshots, whenever I need it. When you get a new electronic device, take photos of the manual before you toss it. When a professional is showing you how to do something, take a video of it, label it and put it in the cloud for later. Take pictures of all of your credit cards, IDs and important documents. When you’re having a good day, go for a walk and record a ten minute audio sharing your optimism, confidence and possibility. You’ll want to listen to it again. When a recurring event happens for the first time, put it in your calendar. The dog meds reminder will happen without you prompting it every month. PS I wrote this post to remind me to do this too.
