The Way of the Solitary Cyclist, #8

A short pencil is better than a long memory
Traditional saying

Practical application: Don't rely solely on your memory. In the heat of the moment, at moments of stress, things can fall by the wayside.

If you've taken notes, or drafted an action plan you can refer to, or made a checklist, you can accomplish things each day and nothing falls through the cracks.

It's also good advice - keep a journal. It is always fun for you to browse through the pages of your journal and see that three weeks ago you couldn't jog a mile, or couldn't get all the way up a hill on a bike without stopping - but now you can. What a feeling of achievement! And something you can relive each time you browse through your journal.
