HR blame

I became notorious for carrying a notebook everywhere and always jotting down what I said I would do or what I had advised someone. It was referred to by one MD as my "Book of Everything". Once people get to know about it, you don't have to get it out as they just know you can back up whatever it is you said.

I didn't start doing it for that reason. I started because it helps me to organise my thoughts to take brief notes. I often find that the action of taking a note commits whatever it is to my memory. It also means I am usually very goal focused in meetings - I will be the annoying person insisting that an action point is agreed when people go off into a waffle.
