Clipits are crib sheets for thinkering. They summarize key information. You may need to read the related pages to understand everything in the summary, But you don't have to understand everything on the Clipit to start using it. All you have to understand is what you are going to use. You can use a Clipit as a cue: With your money. On you mirror. On the dashboard of your car. On the TV remote. On your refrigerator door. On your calendar. On your desk lamp. In papers you are working on. On your computer. If you want this plan to work, pick one Clipit and use it for at least a week. If you don't think the plan worked, ask yourself why.
If you feel inclined to use several Clipits at the same time, don't bother. Just conclude in advance that it won't work. Skip the Clipit trick until you are ready to focus on one thing at a time. |
