Summary

Send us a textIs anybody else sporting a terrible memory? Oh man, I'm probably the worst I've ever met, but I can't remember. Seriously, forgetting names, ideas, points, tasks, the names of my children... it's a big deal. But, the work still needs to be done, you know? Names still need to be recalled. Duties still need to be carried out. The Lord's work still needs to be done. Enter a life hack: Write it down! No matter a digital or paper ...

0:00.0	Hello, welcome to the Excel Stillmore podcast.
0:09.2	I am your host, Chris Emerson, and we are here to talk about tips and strategies that you can employ to deepen your faith, improve your relationships, and just get the most out of your life.
0:19.9	Thank you for joining. Let's get started.
0:27.4	As we get started today, you can probably tell that the content of today's episode is very
0:34.0	practical. By the time we're done, I want to talk to you about methods by which you would
0:40.5	write things down, what those things ought to be, and some of the direct benefit I have seen this
0:49.9	year from adding this habit to my life. So in that sense, there are no surprises here. We're going to
0:57.9	talk about write it down and we're not covering for some hidden meaning. However, I do think it's
1:04.2	worth explaining that writing things down is the solution to a problem. There's something more going on that needed to be addressed,
1:12.7	and this became the way to address it. The problem, in short, is that I have maybe the world's
1:20.7	worst memory. Like, you're probably listening, thinking, no, no, I'm pretty sure my memory's
1:27.4	worse than yours, or maybe you're saying, you've got to meet, no, no, I'm pretty sure my memory is worse than yours,
1:28.3	or maybe you're saying you've got to meet my spouse, that is definitely the worst you'll ever
1:33.9	find. I can compete with anyone. I hear something. I recognize that thing is important,
1:41.6	and if I don't do something about it within five minutes, it is
1:44.7	completely erased. Have you ever been in a conversation with someone brand new, just met them?
1:51.9	Maybe at church or something? And you extend your hand and tell them your name, and they tell you
1:58.2	their name in return, and before even the audible vibrations of sound
2:03.9	have diminished, their name has been deleted from your database. This happens to me a lot. And I'm going to
2:13.7	tell you, it's not about not caring. It's not saying, well, I really don't
2:18.4	care about that person. That's why I forgot their name two milliseconds after they said it.
2:23.4	Or this person who asked me if I would do something for them, well, they just weren't important
