A steward must keep record.
Not because records are paperwork worship, but because records protect memory, reveal truth, and create order.
When affairs are not recorded, people rely on emotion, assumption, panic, and scattered memory. That creates confusion.
A basic record system should include:
- Date received
- Date sent
- Who sent it
- Who received it
- What was requested
- What was answered
- What remains unresolved
- What evidence supports the matter
- What next action is required
Your first practice:
Create a simple “Affairs Ledger” with five columns:
- Date
- Matter
- Document or Event
- Action Taken
- Next Step
Start with only five items from your current life.
Do not try to organize everything in one day. Start the record. The record will begin to restore the mind.
