A lot of times in the past I have thought about something in my head and had the feeling that I already understood and knew how to do something, but when the time of action came, I repeatedly found that I used to skip some important concepts that have actually been gaps that cannot be ignored. I know that I am not the only about this, so that is why I am writing an article, because I want to tell you a good technique that I have found in overcoming this pattern.
Writing can be helpful in identifying these gaps, because when you see a roadmap, you are more likely to figure out the missing points that are important. You can use writing when you want to plan something or when you want to solve a problem that you have been struggling with recently. Usually, you are able to think more rationally and more realistically when you write, because while thinking or talking, you are more likely to ignore a few points that might seem trivial in the first sight, but that actually carry a huge dose of importance.
Moreover, you can also use writing as a way of remembering things, like your plans, or ideas about your work. When you know that you have already written down something, you will have less stress which usually comes as a result of being afraid of forgetting something. Furthermore, when you know that you have written it down, you will also see a considerable improvement in your concentration. This is because you do not need to waste mental energy in recalling every five minutes the things that you should be doing, or that idea that can be valuable for you later on.
Also, besides improving your concentration and reducing your stress levels, writing can also help you with your self-improvement. We tend to feel great when we read about some tips and advice that are given by people who have been achieving remarkable results in the fields that interest us, but we do not follow them because we often forget about them. Writing down our priorities and also journaling down our progress can influence our commitments towards them.
These advice might have been already known to you, but you never benefited from them. The reason why you are falling behind in this regard is because you have never used them before in the past. Your environment can help you as a reminder for them. You simply need to choose something that is very important to you and then remind yourself about it. It will be a lot easier for you to implement new behaviors and achieve pleasant outcomes this way.
