Organize the Thoughts in Your Head

As much as we don't want to admit it, but we forget things.  We tell ourselves we are going to remember something, but we don't.  The thoughts in our minds at times are endless and we lose our train of thought with the slightest distraction when we least expect it.

So those thoughts, the ones that show up and then fade away like the wind, pen them down.  Note them in a journal.  Call the notebook, "Thoughts" and list them.  They don't have to be organized initially.  You can always do that later especially if you start to notice some interesting patterns.

When the thoughts come to clean, cook, create, call, build, dream, quit something or whatever else.  Be sure you are writing in detail why it needs your attention.  The more you unleash what your inner spirit brings up, the less likely you won't go insane from keeping so much within.

1.  List your thoughts. (When you notice a pattern, begin to sort and label your thoughts.  For instance, if many thoughts are related to cooking, you would label the kinds of things you would like to cook and when as well as what might be needed to launch your ideas.)
2.  Provide details as to why they must be tended to.
3.  Add what tools/resources you might need to get certain things done.
4.  Note the names of people who are impacted.
5.  List what dates and times you intend to handle what comes up.
6.  Praise yourself when you have started working on your list.
