- qwertytyyuu 1y agoWriting seems to more of a tool to refine/coalesce thoughts
- treetalker 1y agoI don't disagree that it performs that function. In my experience, thoughts will persist and remain on my mind until I consciously refine them enough. Writing is one of the best ways (if not the best) for doing so.
- HPsquared 1y agoThat's the idea behind "Getting Things Done" (GTD)
- ketozhang 1y agoGTD has the addition that you must create a system of reminders/followups. GTD is great to practice being okay with forgetting stuff and trusting your tracking system.
- jlundberg 1y agoThis is actually good advice. Writing down things makes it much easier to move forward to the next project of the day. Probably various a bit from person to person.
