I love small things like this mirror in Second Life and thought it was the perfect item to remind myself to do what this very lesson imparts.
Reminds self to remind self to remind self…. to post it! 🙂

Lesson 35: Put It On Paper!
Incomplete actions take up space in our awareness. When we retain information or unfinished to-dos in our minds rather than on a calendar or scheduling system, we become easily distracted from the truly important tasks.
If you’ve been feeling confused, unfocused, or scattered, this weekly assignment will give you some much-needed peace of mind. Just think: What else could you be dreaming, planning, and creating if your mind were relieved of all the details it’s been holding?
Your Self-Love Assignment
This is the week to put everything you’ve been holding in your head onto paper. Use the following questions to trigger your memory.
- Are there appointments you need to make? The dentist? The accountant? The gardener? The hairdresser?
- Are there phone calls or e-mails you need to return?
- What other forms of communication do you need to deliver? Do you have birthday cards or thank-you notes to send?
- Are there scraps of paper or sticky notes bearing useful information all over your home and car?
- Are there items to be returned or bills to be paid?
After you’ve captured on paper everything that needs to get done, assign a specific date by which each item will be complete.
Self-Love Points Earned
Give yourself 50 points for each task you take out of your mind and put into your schedule.

I am constantly having to remind myself to write things down (you know those things you tell yourself you’ll remember, then promptly forget?) I keep a pad of paper and a pen on my desk, use the sticky-notes function on my desktop AND notes in my phone. And I STILL forget some things! Sighs…too much random nonsense bouncing around in my brain, me thinks 😦
On first glance, I thought your ring was a string tied around your finger. I prefer the dragonfly 🙂
