I pride myself on having a good memory but writing things down is not for remembering them. That's just an extra benefit. The true impact of writing things down is that it makes it tangible and tangible is real as far as the mind is concerned. Goals get accomplished when they're real and writing them down makes them real. It transfers them from thoughts to reality. If you've never written your goals down, start to do so from this day forward. Write, read & work towards them daily. It works. M.W.
