I guess you are absolutely right about this. If someone want to be great in life, he or she must set a target. Like you said there are some idea that just come to our brain at that particular time but if we are unable to draft it down or put it in ink like you said at tgat particular time, we tend losing it. 
I for example, every new year, i awlays set some goals or draft sone plan out e.g what i am going to achieve for this year or for this half year and i tend and strive working towards the plan and target for that year and truly it has helped me a lot in my various life aspect.
I guess you are right, tgat is what we need sonetimes. When we get hold of a new idea, we should try writing it down and so as not to forget. Thank you for sharing this with us

I'm using the same technique. It works for me. You can also write down your ides and plans on smartphone.

Thanks mate. 

Documenting things like this can give us enough strength to pursue after them,it would help to manage our time and resources wisely. 

How to get what you want is not as difficult as knowing what you want. 

I can say their is a difference since I've been keeping records too.

It is only a dream until you write it down. Then and only then...is it a plan!!

@kwakumax you say the true.When have ideas the plan is very important

Excellent idea l am starting to focus more on that
now that my daughter is going to College.

You convinced me, plans are important. Even though I have small possibilities now, I can start doing something small and focus on it which will lead me to the goal. When I look at some people's progress they had nothing in the beginning yet continued their crap. Now they have prospering channels/profiles etc. Thank you.

This is a very encouraging post @kwakumax, I always had this issue until  I adopted this approach of going around with a pen and a jotter. Though, practically, it's not easy to go everywhere with a jotter, so I recently started using the memo apps on my cell phone (like microsoft onenote) to take notes and pen down ideas. As we all know, your phone is your closest pal. It has really helped a great deal and this post has just served as a reminder for me to continue. Keep it up!
