I have the habit of writing things down in a handbook or notebook. I like to jot things down rather than solely relying on my brain cells to remember every single little detail. If you do recall that I have had blogged about the brilliant quote of Confucius earlier on, he says that : “The palest ink is more reliable than the most powerful memory“.

I believe absent-minded people would appreciate Confucius’ quote greatly especially when it comes to remembering important events or remarkable incidents. Writing things down is just like footsteps imprinted along the path that you have taken. The written notes might become something memorable in your life. You might find it amazing to have come this far when you look back from where you are.

I like A5-sized spiral-bound notebook as I find it handy. I have the habit of using mechanical pencil to write things down as pencil marks can be erased easily if a mistake is made as compared with ball-point pen. It looks more neat and tidy.

I went to the Popular bookstore to buy an A5-sized and an A7-sized spiral-bound notebooks yesterday. I am going to use the A5-sized spiral notebook for my work as my company does not have any spiral notebook that can fit in to my black notebook cover. Although I come out with my own pocket money to buy stationery for my office use, I would rather do it this way than to use something that I don’t feel comfortable with.

Here is a picture of the A5-sized spiral-bound notebook :

 

As for the small A7-sized spiral-bound notebook, I found it by chance while flipping around.

This is a checklist kind of notebook that is properly divided into a few columns for date, time, activity, remark and tick.

I know that I need this little and very handy notebook because I’m very forgetful when it comes to bill payment. I often forget to pay my bills on time and there goes the penalty fee. Gosh! The A7-sized spiral-bound notebook is going to help me to be more organised in handling my bills.

Besides writing things down to remind myself to pay bills on time, I think I have to discipline myself to do it diligently and follow the dates religiously. Otherwise, it is going to defeat the purpose of having the notebooks to help myself in remembering things. Well, I would better set my heart on doing it.
