Inspiration at the Movies: Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade

May 7, 2010 by Deb 2 Comments

“I wrote it down so I wouldn’t have to remember it”
– Professor Henry Jones (Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, 1989)

Oh yes! I can totally relate! Can you?

Of course, it’s important when you write things down that you have some kind of system you follow because… you have to find that information again someday! I’m still a fan of the handheld notebook that you carry around… not unlike Professor Jones’ notebook. No need for electricity or Internet connection, and it’s perfect portable. Leave the first page or inside cover blank so that you can add an index of the contents. Dates and then on the pages to help with sufficient order. You can even start a new page every day if you like… don’t you love that “new slate” kind of look at things?

Cheers & a good shoot to you,
Deb

    I’m old school too, preferring the portability of a notepad, who knows when inspiration will hit, and the process of forming letters. Great idea about leaving pages at the front blank. I’ll do that!

    I have just discovered google douments which is really useful too. You create a doc on the www and can access it from any internet site. Great for shared documents.

    Love your blog!
    Kim

    Hmmm… interesting. Haven’t tried Google Docs yet. Thanks for the tip.

    And glad you’re enjoying the blog!

    Cheers,
    Deb
