Lets take the discussion out of your chapter setting for a minute.

Minutes for an organization are like Success Journals for people.

It has generally been found that when people keep journals that have their goals clearly listed, how those goals translate into action, timeliness of them etc, those people meet with greater success over time in the areas of their life that the journal covers.

The Journal allows feedback in the sense that you can see what you set out to do and what you actually did.

If you track enough things you get a very real view of why you may or not be succeeding to your expectations.

Also the Journal gives a person a base line of behaviors over time. So since you have a really good idea what you are doing (it is written down) it becomes very easy to just tweak certain of your habits to improve that area or many areas of your life. Sleep would be a big one.

A good success Journal dramatically increases your ability to respond to changing conditions rapidly.

So look at the context of my first couple posts from the perspective of creating a Success Journal for chapters.

Also, this should be the first post, I think the whole thread would be clearer, but honestly the analogy didn't occur to me until I ready Lady Pi Phi's response. Thank you Lady Pi Phi.

Also, the analog may not have occured to me back when I wrote the post lol. I have become enamored of Success Journals.
