Why Your Notes Make No Sense (and How to Fix It)
I’m gonna hold you hand when I say this…
You don’t need a better planner.

Me n bestie at Target thinking we about to get our lives together
You need a way to remember things when your brain is full and your kid just spilled applesauce on your white shirt.
And honestly? It’s not just you.
A 2022 study found that the average adult makes over 35,000 decisions a day. No wonder we forgot to text back, hellloooooo.
But I’m gonna hold your hand when I tell you this too…. these thoughts are too valuable to just be floating in space. YOUR THOUGHTS.
So, here’s the one memory hack I actually use that works like magic:
The “Write the Last Line First” Method
AKA: write the most important part you’ll need later… first.
Whenever something needs to be remembered - an idea, a follow-up, a content hook, a convo you want to revisit: write the last line first.
❌ Not “follow up with Kelly”
✅: “Ask Kelly about her launch date and offer to review the sales page.”
❌ Not “Reel idea”
✅: “Story about falling on stage → tie to confidence → CTA to join challenge.”
❌ Not “Newsletter inspo”
✅ But: “Memory hack for busy women… write last line first.”
I speak from experience here. I’ve been personally victimized by half-baked notes like:
“DM her”
“Podcast idea”
“Macy voice message???”
There was a brief era where I committed to writing everything in full, complete sentences like grown adults. It lasted… three days.
Now I write the last line first. Because it’s fast, specific, and lets me pick up right where I left off.
You don’t need more vague scribbles. You need breadcrumb trails that future-you can actually follow.
That way, when you finally sit down to work, you’re not wondering what “school bus 22” means. Yes, that’s an actual note I had in my app. I hope that idea or task is happy wherever it ended up.

It’s not fancy. It’s not color-coded.
But it is how you keep momentum when you’re busy, brilliant, and juggling.

PS. Got your own memory hack that saves your sanity? Send it over, I need all the help I can get. Blocking whoever says “simply forget it” because I already do that one.
