Have you ever had an important conversation with someone, and then later forgot an action item you needed to take care of? Chances are that forgetfulness created unnecessary stress in your day.
It’s common knowledge that the simple act of writing things down helps you retain them over the long term. Maybe you’ll decide to carry around a notebook or, if you’re in a real pinch, use the notes app on your phone. Either way, remembering those little moments from your conversations with people will help you get to know them better and show that you care. You also won’t stress about forgetting what was discussed.1
