    Hey Paul,

    Great podcast! You’ve motivated me to get back to journaling by hand. I’ve been typing my thoughts cuz I can barely read my own handwriting. Perhaps I’ll work on my penmanship this year.

    Love your analogy of the “piece of paper in the rapids” (especially true for a boomer-aged woman). Write it down or lose it forever…

    Anyhoo – keep it up. Great stuff as always!

    All the best in 2013

    I really enjoyed this week’s podcast Paul! Lots of great lessons for everyone in there. I am never without a notebook or a voice recorder on my phone within arm’s length. We have so many thoughts going through our head at any given time, I never test fate and try to commit something to memory.
    I had to laugh about the .88 cent ring bound note books. I put away 20 of them in to storage at Christmas! I will be upgrading to the $12 Staples “Cadillac-Version” note book as soon as my current one is filled up. Very funny, and very true!
