Daily application of effort

Every "success destination" one arrives at is the result of taking one small step each day.
Although I took a bit of a break from using it, I've just re-started using Evernote's free note taking service.
Since it's in the "cloud" it generally can't get lost, like a journal or piece of paper.
I'm at the very beginning of a new sales venture, and to track progress and prevent myself from retracing steps, I'm taking a note each and every day on what I'm doing.

    Evernote is the best! I love using Evernote!

    Personally, I am a huge fan of making To-Do lists. this helps me keep organized and I typically use Evernote and SpringPad to accomplish these. It's amazing how these free services over the internet make our lives easier eh?

    I hear ya on the new sales venture as well. I'm putting my heart and soul into this so I can finally live the lifestyle I want so bad. When you get famous, let's go scuba diving, ok? haha

    I make to do lists and number the order how I must do the pinpoints. This helps A LOT!

      I usually write my to-do lists on the back of envelopes!!! It feels great to cross off every item when I finish it. This means that I'm moving forward in my business and that major success is just around the corner!

    I use a physical notepad and pen. You younger people may not know how to do that but it really helps.
    Also remember, life is not a destination. It's a long journey with a series of stops along the way.

    I have always been a huge fan of list writing, there is a great sense of achievement when you have completed something and get to tick it off - it also spurs you on to get more on the list completed.

    As I am travelling at the moment and seem to always lose pens or the list then this application seems good. Will look into it. Thanks for the post and heads up!

    Hey, This one is good though. Thanks for sharing it. I use google docs usually to save my nots, but this seems to a interesting cloud app and really easy to use though!!

    Thanks for the share!

    Never tried evernote before, but I do create my to-do-list. It helps me manage my time well and keep track of my progress.

    I technically prefer paper... in fact, I print my own grid paper - the site is called "incompetech" - search for it on Google. Sorry for trying to circumvent the rules here about posting links, but this is a purely useful site that I use myself, and when I last visited, it has a PDF grid paper generator.
    However, as I told a friend once who lost a crucial planner at a theatre - "paper doesn't synchronize." I like the idea that the notes I make in Evernote are always there, accessible from any computer with an Internet connection. No notebooks to spill coffee on, lose, leave at home, etc...
