'I'm not a writer,' shouldn't stop you from writing, it is a tool for thinking!
It's a Friday morning and as usual, I am on WhatsApp going through personal and group chats. I open the Elite class group chat and Pastor(founder of the Elite Class) has just shared with us, 'some valuable lessons learnt from Adam Grant on life, psychology and business.' And the whole post does something to my mind. But I guess we'd never really know how much truth or knowledge we've learnt until we've applied it.
Fast forward, a week later. This time, its a Thursday evening and though the day had been a bit productive, my thoughts and mind were in chaos.
That feeling of knowing you have to do something but those things felt so far, like you can't actually reach them or pin point what exactly. Like a blurr. Something is there but it's very vague and so unclear.
I had goals in my head and things I wanted to accomplish for that evening and for the rest of the week but it just felt like I couldn't start. Like, I didn't know where exactly to begin from. My thought processing was in a mess.
So, I remembered the words from that particular post shared in the elite class, "writing is a tool for thinking". So I got up, took out a sheet of paper and a pen. I sat down in front of my reading table and I began to write.

I wrote down everything that was on my mind to do. And as I wrote them down, I easily started doing what I needed to do for that evening. For example, writing this post😅.
Instead of a clog or clutter of ideas and to-dos in my head, I had a structured plan for the week.
Penning down my thoughts, helped organise it.
So are you having trouble processing your thoughts and thereby affecting your productivity? How about you try penning those thoughts down. Writing is indeed a tool for thinking.
