It’s definitely a good thing to write things down. When I was in school my English teacher said that you remember things up to 300 times better if you write them down. I don’t know if it’s actually true or she just wanted to make sure we write everything down and didn’t slack in class hehe

Oh my God this is so true. To do lists really do make you feel better; you're right. I'm thinking back, and it does make you feel empowered. I remember one very specific time when I was in a really scary place financially. I had to make so much money in the next week. I was terrified. I sat down with a piece of paper and wrote down how much money I needed for what by which date. I felt capable. And I felt brave for facing it. 

I'm also a huge fan of writing. Although, I'm a fan of typing actually. It can come out faster. I know that slowing down is also beneficial, too. It does feel more intimate, doesn't it?

Well said. @kaylinart  we must most write down our goals and mission about what we want to achieve as we work towards them every day of our life. Great motivation, just what i needed this evening. Many thanks

I can totally relate to this! There's a saying in my country that goes something like this: "A fool remembers, a smart person writes it down." Everything is easier to comprehend when it's written down.

@kaylinart for some reason I like SHARK Pictures.........

For me writing help in the form of : 

Stress buster : Whenever I'm too much stressed or having a pressure in life be it work, relationship or anything for that matter I try to jot down everything and almost anything that comes to my mind in the form of rhythmic poetries.

Memorize : I have been learning things throughout my teenage by writing it down when it comes to academics and believe you in me its so much easier to remember things which you have written than you have heard or read.

We are so beclouded by technology that we've forgotten that stuffs written are easily remembered because we tend to write it down the way we can easily remember. We should go back to the days of writing down stuffs in our diary.

Writing things down allows you to have a better handle on them. If you let them float around in your mind, you lose perspective much more easily and never gain control them.

Basically your way to drain many of the things that happen to you daily is through writing is interesting in fact not everyone has that way of venting so to speak

Written goals are very important.. A written goal brings clarity and focus. It gives you a direction. And by rewriting your goals you not only reaffirm what your goals are.You may also find new insights that bring more clarity and focus to your goal and life.

So you can free some space :)

Yet again, completely agree! We're on the same ---page--- about this. Sorry, bad joke, I had to.

The mental decultering is one of the best aspects. I've recently started using a great app called Ike for this. Check it out. I won't go into too much detail here as I want to write about it fully but check it out.

Of course, one can never do without paper and pen(cil) though.

Very good way of doing things. I have a very busy day every day and making lists in order to prioritise is a must or I might literally go mad. I also set up simple systems into which I integrate random once offs.

I prefer the good old pen and paper. I needed to make a list of things that I had to do the other day. I told my girlfriend that I would make the list when I got home. She didn't understand why because she would just use talk to text in her phone. This seemed much simpler to her. I'm not sure what it is but I just prefer pen and paper
