memora ndum habit If you do take notes
each day be sure you look at them al
night to If you have carried out the
suggestions which you have written down
Another important habit is that OF poi-
tioning off your time each day with its
different duties for each hour. You VIII
find that you can accomplish great dea
more in one day if you stick close TO the
requirements which you have laid down
for yourself. One good way TO do is to
sit down just before retiring for the night
and plan the next days duties, and then
follow your plan to the letter not allow
ing anything to interfere with your sys
tematic way of doing things. Get the
habit of taking notes wherever you go
and jot down every piece of information.
no matter how seemingly unimportant II
may appear to be at the time you write
it down. You will see the time later
when you will need just that particular
piece of information. Take few min
utes each day to classify this informa-
ton.
1t will be time we'll spent. as the result

formed because you will always have "A
