Quotes to ponder:
"Our memories aren’t as good as we think. Therefore, an external brain becomes a critical everyday tool."
"An unmanaged inbox is hard to navigate. It’s cluttered and mentally overwhelming."
"Action items should either be put on the calendar, in the notepad, or moved to a special folder to follow up at a later time."
