Just: BOOM! thought pencil notebook write down done. We are constantly thinking and meandering and inquiring and the, ‘summary-style’ journal only captures one frame of the whole film-reel that is our life. The random thought notebook contains a more “in the moment,” live, and raw sample of our thoughts throughout the day.
Plus, I feel like a random thought notebook is a more accurate portrayal of who we are as humans. Instead of doing one, long, summary style entry at the end of a day (or week or whenever), you simply chunk it out as it comes throughout the day in smaller, bit-sized entries. I like this method because you create a journal that is spontaneous, quick to the point, easy to write, and easy to read. I have always found it easier to accomplish big tasks by splitting the work load up into little chunks – and that’s what this little journal can do for you. Well, saving and closing on a computer is writing down and clearing for the mind! It frees up processing space for new thoughts and revolutionary ideas! You save your files and close out programs – that way the computer has more processing space for new programs. If you have too many applications or programs open simultaneously on your computer, it’ll significantly slow down in proportion to how many programs you have open and maybe even get to the point of crashing and shutting down. When your mind is focused on remembering old thoughts, it has no room for new thoughts. Second, it allows you to clear your head of meandering thoughts. You can see how relying solely on your memory can be a less than effective technique. Taking an extra few seconds to pull out a notebook and jot down your thoughts can save you not only a ton of time over the course of a year, but also a ton of memory space. Well, let’s just say that that’s a ton of thoughts that your mind would be trying to (and yeah, failing to) remember.
So, even if only 1% of your thoughts are thoughts that your mind wants to hold onto, you’d be trying to remember 500 thoughts… in just one day!įast forward through a week and that’s 3,500 ‘of-value’ thoughts! How might this be helpful? The answer is three-fold.Īccording to the NSF, the average person has around 50,000 thoughts per day!Īnd of course, whenever any thought comes up that your mind might consider, ‘of value’ (or even of little value) it tends to hold onto that thought (whether consciously or subconsciously) which keeps it hovering around in the forefront of your brain. Excerpt: What is a random thought notebook? It’s exactly what it sounds like: a notebook where you track your random thoughts.
