Faces first

This isn't rocket-sciencical. But looks like everything hasn't been discovered yet. Or at least doesn't come to mind until concretely seen so. Or doesn't come into practice until prompted/forced into that shape.

We always had the telephone book to look up people. And we always had the regular planner to note down the tasks basis time and date. And yet the two proved inadequate for me.

I realized I remember faces and names far more easily than I remember the tasks. To put it in another way, I've found directly trying to recall tasks to be tougher than recalling faces to recall tasks.

If you look at right hand-side half of the 3rd page of the planner format, it prompts you to recall the person you are going to interact with. Contact 'someone', Follow up with 'someone', Respond to 'someone', Discuss with 'someone', Meet 'someone'. The natural extension of those words is a 'face' or a 'person'.

Let me know if you concur.
