6 Reasons You Should Start Journaling Now
1.
Journaling clears your mind which leads to better focus.
Over time, our brains get clogged up with details. There are things we need to do, things we should have done( and didn’ t), projects, plans, emotions and more. Remember that tenant that is driving you crazy or the house you should have gotten under contract but you botched the offer?
Carrying all this stuff around weighs us down, and it takes our attention off our business.
David Allen wrote the book“ Getting Things Done”. In his book he suggest that we periodically do a brain dump. I personally think you need to do this on a regular basis. How often you need to do it will be an individual decision. In general when you’ re feeling overwhelmed, it’ s probably time.
Doing a brain dump is also a way to begin your journaling experience.
In another one of my favorite books“ Double Your Income doing What You Love”, Raymond Aaron talks about cleaning up your“ messes”. He is referring not only to physical messes, but to all the things AKA“ messes” in your mind that take your concentration away from your business.
Action Step: It’ s time to do a brain dump. Write down every unfinished or halffinished task, project or idea you haven’ t gotten around to. Get them out of your head and onto paper. Once you do that, you will have the framework for a plan of action.
