Quite a few years ago before Google photographed every street and building on the planet and every smart phone had GPS, I had a clever way of keeping track of my clients homes. I would print out the driving directions and place them in a sheet protector then file them in alphabetical order in a notebook I carried in my car. Clients I hadn't seen in some time were always impressed I never needed directions after the initial visit.
But now Siri tells me where and how to go. The night before I still look up the address on Map Quest because I am visual. I like to be able to picture the map I saw the night before in my mind as Siri gives me directions. Los Angeles is a driving town and you never know when someone will live on a well concealed cul de sac or up on a mountain top. My notebook, however, is no longer needed. It's now an homage to how clever I was in the good old days. Yesterday I gave it a 'thank you' and a toss. What's the bottom line?
No matter how great your organizing solutions are stay open to new ideas and better ways of accomplishing your goals. I'm not suggesting change for change sake. I am suggesting you never utter anything like this: "Why do we need cell phones? Didn't we do OK when it was just a home phone or a pay phone?" Yes, we did. We also did quite well traveling by horse and buggy. But planes, trains and automobiles are faster and the world is a connected place. Stay current: it will keep you youthful to the end!
