"People who want to appear clever rely on memory, people who want to get things done write things down."
I haven't been able to find it again, so I'm not certain, but I think it was from the Lairds' 1947 book http://www.amazon.com/Technique-Getting-Things-Directing-Leaders/dp/B000Z2MT3O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250885788&sr=8-1 http://www.amazon.com/Technique-Getting-Things-Directing-Lea... which I reviewed on Amazon:
This is a very useful book on getting things done. If you need hand-holding and specific techniques you can apply without thinking too much it's not for you. It gives few specific techniques, instead it focuses on general methods applicable to almost anything and on many inspirational anecdotes. Very readable.
