> write down the issues I used to think the only purpose of writing things down is so that I don't forget, but I knew I could remember so I didn't write stuff down, and usually I did remember. Writing stuff down serves another, more important, purpose though. It allows you to forget. After you write it down, you can let it go, free your mind, and know it's physically waiting for you on Monday.
