How could a simple yellow
notepad have such power ?
Here is the story…
The millionaire CEO gave each of his employees
a yellow, legal sized notepad and a pencil.
He also gave them these simple instructions:
Carry the notepad and pen with you at all times during
your workday. Keep it handy, and within easy reach.
In the morning write down a short "To Do" list in the
notepad, list the things you want to accomplish that day.
You should also make a list of short term and long goals
both personal and professional.
During the day use the notepad to capture every name
And phone number of anyone you talk to or come in
contact with. Write down email addresses, flight times, &
reservation numbers, meeting times and dates, record
virtually every bit of important data into your yellow notepad.
Here is how the millionaire CEO's workforce benefited
from this simple positive habit, and how you can also
regardless of who you are, or what you do.
(businessmen, housewives, students, CEO's, etc.)
Every piece of important data was instantly
available to them. They became more productive
immediately. When they needed to call someone back
the name and telephone number were just a glance
away, communications in the work force increased.
What was that fight number again? What was that policy number
The insurance agent gave you 3 days ago? Just look in your trusty
yellow notepad, it is all there! What were the directions to the
wedding? It's all in your yellow notepad!
Here is another tip….
Every morning read the goals that you wrote down in
the notepad, read them aloud and visualize yourself as
already reaching your goals.
Your yellow notepad becomes a Rolodex, Meeting Planner,
Map, and one stop source for all of your important information
that you gather every day.
Remember how you used to write down that information on
little bits of paper? Remember how you could never find that
One piece of paper with the phone number you needed?)
You will not believe how many ways this little positive habit will
benefit your life! You will be less stressed, more efficient at
everything you do, you will see yourself reaching your goals, your
self esteem will improve.
