Put it down on paper.
Nothing in your head is tangible.Writing it down makes it real.
One notebook for everything worth recording — your thoughts, ideas, to-do list, memories, spending, goals — and an assistant who knows your life well enough to read it back to you.
Hi, I'm Dewey.I keep track of things around here — and I only read what you let me.
