How I keep my life together with nothing but a pocket-sized notebook.

I have always been forgetful.

I needed alarms for appointments and medications, sticky notes on top of items in my house to remember what I needed to do with them, and separate to-do lists for every aspect of my life.

I have also always been creative.

In addition to the countless ways to keep track of my life, my work/home/car spaces have typically been cluttered with story ideas, quotes, sketches, and lists of what might have been movie titles.

But I knew there had to be a better, much more obvious way to keep my life in order.

Then I heard about a system from an excellent creator that would change my life indefinitely.

Let’s get into it.

The Catch-All Notebook

A catch-all notebook — as the name implies — is a home for all your thoughts, plans, lists, and anything you need your notebook to — well, catch.

For Example:

  • To-do lists
  • Quotes
  • Words to look up
  • Appointment notes
  • Meeting notes
