Notebooks - Insights From a Motivational Speaker

change keynote speaker motivational speaker resilience

 

I’ve stopped writing in notebooks.

 

I loved the feel of jotting notes at a conference

 

the flow of the pen

the smell of the paper

the arrows and squiggles and boxes

the ideas captured

 

or so I thought.

 

One day I looked at my pile of notebooks

and realised it was an ideas graveyard

a place where my ideas went to die

a place I would sentimentally visit during the first week of January.

 

So, I spent months digitising them …aaaarghhhh

typing them out … DOUBLE AAAARRGHHHH

 

Then I tossed out the physical notebooks.

 

Nowadays I do all my notes on iNotes (or your favourite app).

You’ll see me with my laptop on my knees at a conference

or tapping on my phone while walking and listening to podcasts

then later on the bus/train/airport

I copy and paste directly into my categorised folders in the cloud.

 

Now my ideas are

where I can find them

when I’m thinking about them

and with me wherever I am

 

My ideas are reborn.

My content calendar is full.

My time isn’t wasted.

 

The simple act of

letting go of the idea that I’m a paper-and-pen sort of guy

has changed my life.

If we haven’t met yet…

 

I never considered myself good at change until I went from

 

-average shot to army sniper

-home movies to National Geographic cameraman

-fumbling card tricks to a professional magician

-never swinging a hammer to building a home

-high school dropout to published author

-business illiterate to building & selling a business

-stutterer to motivational speaker

 

Turns out I know how to change, I know how to make it simple, and I know how to stand on stage & make it fun so others want to do it too.
