Always carry a notebook

I came across this quote yesterday and thought I’d share it, especially after my recent retreat experience (which I will be writing about soon!). It seems to be popping up pretty regularly recently, and I really wish I’d followed the advice as I drove home from work yesterday!

About half way home I had a gem of an idea that I really didn’t want to forget. After just reading that it was likely to only last for three minutes, I spent the rest of the drive home repeating it to myself every few minutes!

As soon as I got home I rushed upstairs to grab a notebook and got to writing. Thankfully I remembered most of it.

Ironically, that morning as I was leaving home, I realised I hadn’t put my notebook in my bag. At the time I shrugged it off, but from now on I’ll definitely be taking the extra two minutes to go back and pick one up. And start plotting good parking places on my route home, in case inspiration strikes once more!
