Do you write things down?

Yes. I do, and in a daily basis.

We know this sounds obvious, but there is a magical power in writing things down.

Things written down are more likely to happen.

If you want to reach your short term as well as your long term goal start by writing them down.

Writing things down is an easy yet effective way to be productive and deal with day-to-day overwhelm.

Below some benefits of wirting things down :

* It helps us clarify our goals, plans our intentions. Having these things written down forces us to literally see and evaluate each of them.

* It encourages us to make daily progress. By writing things down you have what you did in front of you and that’s helps you reflect on what worked and what didn’t so that you can plan the next step better and therefore focus your energy on whats matter.

Writing down your plans and your goals could be done on a block note, in your calender or on a sticky note. The most important thing is that we externalise our abstract thinking into a tangible artifact.

In a nutshell, writing things down is a powerful tool to have a visible reminders of what you did, what you thought of and what you will do.

I recommend this simple act to any person who would like to make progress.
