Today, more and more we need a way for effective note-taking, but most of the times, we fail in finding a quick and effective way of keeping our important notes, ideas, and tasks. The reason is that we try to do a lot of the things (or a few,…) with our notes, resulting, the most of the times, to make them unusable.

I have to confess! I have and always had an affection for analog systems (paper-based productivity) using them for various purposes (ideas and thoughts recording, drawing, note-taking, etc.), even before the period a portable or mobile device became available in the market.

Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters
One of the most inspiring books, I have ever read, is a book by Phillip C. Mcgraw, Ph.D.
entitled: Life Strategies: Doing What Works, Doing What Matters
.
This book is focused on 10 life laws, providing a situation/life – strategy approach for resolving a given situation. The laws are presented in simple terms while the strategies described constitute small landmarks for rethinking given situations, most of the times we are not able to address in an effective way.
The main objective of Dr. Mcgraw, a behavior expert, is to make people review some well and long-established approaches and attitudes while he is providing possible ways for resolving situations we may find ourselves unable to resolve.

The decision we made influence not only our actions but as well and those of the people we interact with and eventually influence (in a positive or negative way) their life. Potentially, “bad” decisions can influence negatively, not only our life but, that of others as well. Good decisions on the other part can multiply the positive effects for us and many more other individuals (even people we don’t know about!!!).
