One of my kids was asking me recently why I was buying blank notebooks.
My daughter said: “Daddy, this is so weird…”
Blank Books?
I am a buyer of blank notebooks. My kids find it interesting (read: weird) that I would buy a blank book. They say: 14 dollars for a blank book! Why would you pay that?” (Thinking what I could buy them with the $ 14…)
The reason I pay 14 dollars is to challenge myself to find something worth 14 dollars to put in there.
I must admit, if you got a glimpse of my notebooks, you’d have to say that I dream Big Dreams ( read: very unrealistic in the eyes of many) .
Writing down my ideas is very important. Re-writing my ideas over and over again is even more important.
Why? It seems to me that the more I juggle with an idea, the more I dream about it, the more I entertain it, the more it has a tendency to become a reality. It seems to work even with crazy ideas. I can’t prove it, but somehow, it seems to work. It seems to save me time because this one of ways that make me focus on a clear idea, a clear goal with a direction.
Where do you write down your crazy ideas?

J’ai moi aussi un cahier vierge, mais c’est en fait un cahier pour un milliard de notes, tant personnelles que professionnelles, une espèce de cahier fourre-tout qui sert aussi de journal. Tant mieux si je suis sur la bonne voie!

Merci Joanne pour ton commentaire.
Je trouve intéressant de revoir à l’occasion nos vieilles notes. Cela nous permet de constater comment nous évoluons dans les différents secteurs de nos vies.
