I admit it… I am an addict…
Okay, I consider myself fairly techy, tech systems, and SaaS friendly. My brain really works in a weird way when It comes to incorporating systems and tech and if I could crack it open and show it to you, I like to think you would be impressed… and yet, I am addicted to 3 colored legal pads.
I promise I tried everything, Evernote, Google Keep (I still use this kind of), Ipad apps, phone apps, Instagram influencer-designed planners, large beautiful planners, spiral-bound notebooks, and so much more. NONE of these things stuck with me… much like every other diet I have ever tried I had no follow-through to stick with it.
I don’t know how it happened but last year in frustration I decided I could really take my “notes” down to 3 key subjects
My to-do list (business & personal on one list)
My lead notes
My HRVA Homes Business needs, notes, and “brilliant in the moment” notes
I popped on to Amazon and found a set of 3 legal pads in 3 colors and this seemed like a great solution, I could assign a subject to each color, keep them with me at all times and quickly know which legal pad I needed very easily.
It has been a year now and I have gone through quite a few of each colored pad. I save the purple "lead” notepads and blue “HRVA Homes Business” notepads in case I need to reference them and trash the to-do list pads.
Don’t get me wrong, I definitely still get our lead notes into our database and use the tasks function in our database, all transferred from these notepads quite often but this is a great first stop for my ideas, brain dumps, and notes.
