WRITE IT DOWN!

It’s just so easy to write a reminder for something important in your phone. But I find it’s just as easy to forget that important thing. A study out of the University of Tokyo found that if you write things down on paper with a pen, you’re way more likely to remember it.

They say that when we physically write something down, we develop more of a stronger memory of what we’re trying to commit to memory.

I’ll say that at least in my case, this is 100% true. My desk in covered in meeting notes, blog ideas, songs we’re about to add. And lists! Oh my goodness, I make lists of everything I need to accomplish during the week. This is a live look at my desk. To me, it’s organized. I know where everything is when I need it. Even if it looks like I’m tracking a serial killer on some CBS drama.
