I've been a student of personal development and success thinking for more than a decade now. And while I admit a lot of it is fluff, the more I read and soak up great information, the more my journey has blossomed...

Today I want to share with you a story (and a whole lot of pictures...lol) about a trick I learned from reading and learning from some of the great thought leaders on personal development, leadership and success...

And it all starts in this box...

In that box contains about a hundred or more quotes, pictures, doodles, thoughts and scribbles...

On 3 x 5 index cards.

Like you have guessed by now, I read a lot. And try to soak up as much information as I can...The problem is, I forget a lot of it. So I'll end up writing the bulk of what I learned in my journals...But sometimes, a lesson 'hits me'...

(A handful of my index cards...I have a LOT!)

And some of these quotes and lessons I learn are the things I want to remember forever!

So they deserve their own...Index card ;)

(A gem from The End of Procrastination by Petr Ludwig - One of the better books I've ever read!)

And because they are organized within the box beside my desk, I can quickly scan them when I need a bit of inspiration.

Or maybe when I'm getting writer's block while trying to come up with a topic to write about...

Maybe if I need a good idea or two for my business...

The possibilities are endless with my 'stash of nuggets'!

And yes, before you ask....

I've got all kinds of ways of keeping these 'nuggets' treasured forever...Which includes...

Laminating them!

(Big shout out to the CTP Swarm and @CaptainBob - You knew I wouldn't let you down ;))

Yeah index cards are a fantastic way to 'treasure' the quotes and ideas you want to remember for a long time.

And stashing them in a handy little 'storage box' helps keep them at arms length when you are looking for a jolt of motivation or inspiration...

Sometimes, I even create little 'stories' with the index cards which I've been known to use in presentations on our weekly webinars...What can I say, I'm one creative cookie :)

Ultimately, this is just a little trick and technique that I've been doing for years...So I have no guarantee that if you try it, you'll achieve great things...Who knows if this stuff works LOL

But I know this...I absolutely LOVE it.

I love soaking up the information first, but then taking these ideas and putting them into practice.

For me, that is the greatest 'result' I could ever have...Actually using the information I'm learning!

So if you wanna try the 'Power of a 3 x 5', just go to your local business store, Wal-Mart or what not...

• Grab a stack of 3 x 5 index cards
• A storage box to hold them
• Some great pens to write down these ideas and gems

It's a ton of fun and heck, sometimes you start believing this stuff and end up quoting yourself ;)
