How Writing Things Down Can Change Your Life

??? What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists, and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences, our goals, and our feelings can change the way we live our lives.

Here are five different ways that writing things down can change your life, and what you can do to get the most out of each.

1._____________________

David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every “to-do” item you can think of clears space in your head for more important topics.

??? You can also use a technique called “morning pages”, which was pioneered by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way. Morning pages involves completing three pages (around 750 words) of stream-of-consciousness writing. Through doing this first thing each morning, you clear your head in preparation for the day’s most important thinking.

2. __________________________

Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰)abilities.

3._________________________________

If you keep a journal and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a journal can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve traversed and dealt with important decisions and tricky situations in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.

4._____________________________________

If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction, when having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress.

5.____________________________________

No matter what’s going on in your outside world, when you write things down, you enter a world of possibility, which helps you stay motivated and gives you space to think big and aim high. When you write things down, you have a chance to explore dreams and ambitions that you might not feel safe revealing to anyone else yet. You also have a space to keep track of all your ideas and desires so you can return to them later.
