Putting the ink on the paper is a much powerful exercise than
you can imagine. It is powerful because of the following reasons :
Power of Recollection:
Writing requires dusting your brain to bring out the thoughts out of
your memory you want to jot down. This is true about whatever you write about….be
it the errands list or a big novel. Recollection is one of the key steps in the
memory retention process.
Firming up the Commitment:
Think of an issue that is on top of your mind and bothering
you. Take a pen and paper. Just start jotting down your problem…I mean not even
the potential solution…just the problem. While this writing process itself may
be difficult, you will feel a sense of comfort after the writing exercise.
Writing , especially in your own hand-writing firms up the commitment , which is
the most important step in Problem solving process.
Dealing with “Open-loops”:
Most of us think, mental stress arises from focusing on one
intense activity for a long period…No ..it is not…Mental stress arises from repeated
thoughts about multiple set of issues that are accumulated in our memory
without identifying the next step. These are the “open-loops” in the brain
through which the energy leaks happen draining us out. Putting all the “Open-loops”
onto a piece of paper takes the load out of our CPU’s memory. David Allen , the world renowned productivity
guru & author of “Getting Things Done”, calls this capturing of thoughts as
“Collection” habit.
Exercise in Creativity:
Writing is an exercise an creativity. The more you write ,
the more you become better in telling a Story . The more you become adept in story-telling
, the more influential you can be!
Don’t worry about your vocabulary, grammar or construction. Just
make a resolve to write at least 250 words day and more importantly… Write …You
