We've previously discussed how a pocket notebook increases mental clarity, focus, and critical thinking. But what are the actual strategies that someone needs to use in order to get those benefits?

In this video, we look at the three strategies that I use with my notebook. Capture, Distill, and Close. A pocket notebook is a great option for capturing information in a generation when everything is grabbing at our attention or trying to sell us something we don't need. From there we need to take that information and distill it down to the essence of what it is. Until we do that we cannot actually solve the problem, build on an idea, or expand our knowledge. Lastly, we look at "close" which is where we learn how to free up mental space.

Thanks for stopping by my channel where we focus our energy on self-improvement, productivity, and making the best possible versions of ourselves. Obviously, this is not attainable, which is kind of the point. Never stop growing and improving. Most of what we cover are personal lessons that I have learned, as I don't have the authority to speak for others, but just my personal experiences. Below we have a discord server where you can message me, there is my gear, and also my website. Thanks again for watching!
