You might not have a pen and paper handy, but you’ve got your phone or a computer or someone near by that can give you a way to capture a bit of info.
That bit of info strengthens any following connection. And if there is no following connection, you lose nothing but the 20 seconds it took to make a note since you can’t rely on your brain.
There’s a reason servers who remember a name get bigger tips or hairdressers who remember a bit of info you shared at your first visit end up with you revisiting again and again.
And before you argue… it’s fine that they wrote it down. It’s actually more heartfelt because they care enough to document rather than trust their memory.
People who try to memorize directions waste mental space. It’s no different than remembering a birthday or a trip a person has upcoming. Why rely on your brain to remember and risk the relationship.
The big difference between directions and information about someone? If you forget directions, you merely get temporarily lost. If you forget personal info, you lose the richness that comes with connection – a win-win situation.
One note to yourself will make a world of difference.
