Do you have a habit of forgetting things? I’ve always had a problem with short-term memory and I struggle to remember the simplest things. Names, phone numbers, appointments, a medication, a location can become lost in the busyness of the day. My mind constantly races from one thought to another and I get distracted easily. Focusing on one thing at time is really hard.
In order to combat this problem, I’ve found it very helpful to write things down and I know from research that this has been a proven way to help organize your thoughts.
You can write your thoughts on a to-do list, in a journal or day book, on a calendar, on sticky notes, in your computer or on your phone. Use whatever method or combination is best for you.
Writing things down has many benefits:
- you won’t forget to do something
- you can organize your thoughts
- you will have less stress
- you can analyze your words and make necessary changes
- you can eliminate any unnecessary tasks
- you can focus on what is important
- easier to understand your thoughts
If you have trouble remembering or organizing your life, try writing things down for the next 30 days and see if it helps. I’m sure you will notice some positive changes.
