How a pen and pieces of scratch paper are worth a space in your pants

I acquired something good from watching Keizoku 2: SPEC (I might be posting about this sometime in the future). Throughout the series, Toma, one of the main characters, always had a pad of cut scratch paper bound by a filing clip, and a pen, which she constantly uses to record or write anything that comes up. This pad always comes up every episode, used by Toma in revealing the culprit’s methods and actions, and whatever else is mentioned.

I gave this a try, though I didn’t have to really copy even how the pad of scratch paper is bound by a filing clip. I tried keeping a pad of compiled torn scratch paper from my past papers, etc. and used these little pieces to record anything that comes through my mind, could be a quote from our professor, or something I just randomly came up with, just whatever comes through my mind

And this was a really good help. I was able to use these random writings and scribblings to my advantage. And this is one of the reasons why I can post articles easily here. It may be a simple scribble found at the smallest corner of the paper, or a set of methods I heard at work. These little ideas help in big things I do. These ideas may not be organized (heck, they’re written in any blank portion of the paper!), but I need not organize them immediately, since can use them as “standalones”.

My lesson in this article? (1)Make space in your pockets for a pad of paper and a pen; and (2)keep acquiring information and data, organization can come up aterwards. It worked for me, conveniently.
