detour Write Down Exactly What You Intend Io Do

This serves many very good purposes. Putting your proposed actions in writing helps you to be specific about them. It also helps you to remember them. It challenges you. There’s something about writing a “to do” list that compels you to do those things. Perhaps it is the feeling of accomplishment when you are able to actually check off the items on the list after completing each one.

Interestingly, there are many things we would not hesitate to do if we could just remember that we need to do them. Inaction may often be due to nothing more than not keeping track of what needs to be done.

When you have a written list, you’re never left wondering what to do next. A great deal of wasted time comes from keeping track of what still needs to be done. A written list can significantly cut down on this waste.

Putting your list in writing also helps you to organize your activities. You may discover, for example, that two or three of the things on your list require you to travel to the same part of town. Realizing this in advance would enable you to organize them all into a single outing, rather than making a separate trip for each one.
