What you bring home – Mike Vardy

I’m sure many of us feel this way after attending a conference:

I got back from Podcast Movement this week with a notebook I can barely read. That’s how conferences go. Three days of good sessions, better hallway conversations, and a running list of things I absolutely need to try. By the flight home the list has fourteen items on it and every one of them felt urgent when I wrote it down.

Here is what Mike Vardy does with the plethora of notes in his notebook after returning home from a conference:

I go through everything and pull out three things. One idea worth thinking about longer. One action small enough to do this week. One person worth staying in touch with.

I love this and will be giving it a try with a conference I’m attending in November that I’m sure will fill the better part of a notebook.
