Write it Down to Get it Right!

If you’re talking how do you know if someone is listening? In leadership training they say, “If they’re not taking notes then stop talking.” If your instructions are important then you expect people to write it down to get it right. If they’re too lazy to practice a bit of penmanship or think that they’ll probably “just remember” everything then they are not likely to be a great asset. Most people can’t even get to the store and back productively without a list. How many times you need to repeat and remind is directly related to advancement and compensation. Someone you can instruct once for a whole day is much better than someone you have to instruct all day. People who don’t write things down tend to forget while people who do usually get things done.


So what do you do when God’s talking to you?
It’s important when praying to write down what He’s saying.

It’s hard to keep pace when you have to stop and get directions during the race.
So write it down and when your list is done then you’ll be on the right track and ready to run.
