Writing is one of my most favorite things, Taking a pencil or a pen and writing on paper is such a satisfying experience.
Many of us, Don't write every day. Now that we have a vast array of cell phones and electronics and it makes sense. Why waste paper?
While these things can be applied to digital writing, I'm a little more biased when it comes to physically writing.
It Helps Declutter The Brain
We are all so busy these days, So many little snippets of info to continually remember, So many holidays, Life situations and promises to remember. Writing lists help us declutter our brain and focus on what is essential in front of us. When we are cluttered and overwhelmed it can be hard to focus
Allows You To Understand What You Are Up Against Fully
Sometimes I felt so stressed out and overwhelmed with the things I know that need to get done, But when I sit down and write down the list of things that I have to do, I realize it's not as scary or as intimidating as I originally had thought. I know that my goals are quite achievable and I was overreacting.
Often we are over dramatic with what needs to get done. Writing it down puts it in an easy to understand format.
Allows You To Delegate
Or even remove what isn't necessary, It's easy to feel like we have to do a ton of things, But once we write it down, We see that many items can easily be crossed off because they are unnecessary.
Also, When we are super overwhelmed, there are often tasks we can delegate to someone else because it doesn't require our personal touch necessarily. A great example of this, Is your grocery shopping or cleaning.
Writing things down makes a big difference, And whether you prefer to check off apps, Like Wunderlist, Or good old fashioned pen and paper, It can make a big difference in your productivity level to write it down.
