How Writing Things Down Can Change Your Life
What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists, and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences, our goals, and our feelings can change the way we live our lives.
Here are five different ways that writing things down can change your life, and what you can do to get the most out of each.
【小题1】_____________________
David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every “to-do” item you can think of clears space in your head for more important topics.
You can also use a technique called “morning pages”, which was pioneered by Julia Cameron, author of The Artist’s Way. Morning pages involves completing three pages (around 750 words) of stream-of-consciousness writing. Through doing this first thing each morning, you clear your head in preparation for the day’s most important thinking.
【小题2】 __________________________
Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰)abilities.
【小题3】_________________________________
If you keep a journal and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a journal can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve traversed and dealt with important decisions and tricky situations in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.
【小题4】_____________________________________
If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction, when having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress.
【小题5】____________________________________
No matter what’s going on in your outside world, when you write things down, you enter a world of possibility, which helps you stay motivated and gives you space to think big and aim high. When you write things down, you have a chance to explore dreams and ambitions that you might not feel safe revealing to anyone else yet. You also have a space to keep track of all your ideas and desires so you can return to them later.
【小题1】C
【小题2】A
【小题3】E
【小题4】F
【小题5】B

A good book can be satisfying. If reading is a habit you’d like to get into, there are some ways to develop it.
Realize that reading is enjoyable if you have a good book. If you have a difficult book and you are forcing yourself through it, it will seem like a task. _____【小题1】_______
Set time. You should have some time during every day when you’ll read for at least 5 to 10 minutes. __【小题2】_______ For example, make it a habit to read during breakfast and lunch and even dinner if you eat alone.
Always carry a book. __【小题3】__ When I leave the house, I always make sure to have my car keys and one book at hand. The book stays with me in the car, and I take it into the office and to appointments and pretty much everywhere I go.
__【小题4】 Find a place in your home where you can sit in a comfortable chair. Don’t lie down unless you’re going to sleep. There should be television or computer near the chair, and no music or no noisy family members/roommates. If you don’t have a place like this, create one.
Reduce television/the Internet. If you really want to read more, try cutting back on time on TV or the Internet. __【小题5】__ Still, every minute you reduce of the Internet/TV, you could use for reading. This could create hours of book reading time.
| A.Wherever you go, take a book with you. |
| B.Go to bookstores. |
| C.Have some good tea or coffee while you read. |
| D.Find a quiet place. |
F. If this happens, give up the book and find another one that you’ll really love.
G. It means you will read no matter how busy you are.
It often seems that people have a hard time in speaking a seemingly familiar name. Did you ever have someone's name on the tip of your tongue and yet you were not able to recall it? When this happened,what did you do? Next time this happens again,what should you do?
You should not try to recall it. Instead, just do something else for a couple of minutes and then the name may come into your head. Why? The name is just there, since you have met this person and learned his name. It, waiting there, only has to be dug out. The initial(最初的) effort to recall prepares the mind for operation, but it is the subconscious (下意识的) activities that go to work to dig up a dim(模糊的)memory. Forcing yourself to recall almost never helps because it doesn't loosen your memory; it only tightens it.
That’s why students find the preparatory method greatly helpful in examinations. They read over the questions before trying to answer any of them. Then they answer first the ones of which they are most confident. At the same time, deeper mental activities in the subconscious mind are taking place; work is being done on the more difficult questions. By the time the easier questions are answered, answers to the more difficult ones will usually begin to come into consciousness. It is often just a question of waiting for recall to come to the memory.
You see, forcing ourselves to think hard to recall something usually doesn’t help. Chances are that the harder we think, the more difficulty we face in thinking of what we want to. Offering our mind time to work is what we are expected to do.
| Problem | People 【小题1】______ to recall what they are sure they know. |
| Solution | They are 【小题2】______ not to try to recall it immediately. They can do something else for a while 【小题3】_____ of thinking hard about it. |
| 【小题4】______ | It takes time for the subconscious activities to go to work to dig up a dim memory, in which case forcing oneself to recall can make the memory 【小题5】_____. |
| Example | Students find the preparatory method of great 【小题6】______ in examinations. They, having read over the questions, first answer easy ones. 【小题7】_____, the subconscious activities are 【小题8】_____ to deal with harder ones. |
| 【小题9】______ | People should offer their mind time to work so that a dim memory can be 【小题10】_____ up. |

Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair recently conducted a series of four studies 【小题3】 the effects of experimentally induced ( 诱发的 ) happiness versus sadness on work 【小题4】 by asking the participants to build circuit boards. In the first study, sad people committed 【小题5】 few errors than did happy people, but there was no difference in the number of boards 【小题6】 .
In similar studies Sinclair found the same results along with the evidence that happy people might not 【小题7】 as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods ---- they considered that task as something that might detract from their 【小题8】 feelings.
These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology 【小题9】 that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and often, more thought or accurate judgments. So it’s important for organizations to take into account the 【小题10】 of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good.
