Paper

When I don’t write my ideas down on paper:

• I lack tactile memory retention
• I find that my thoughts lack depth
• I can’t ‘flip back through thoughts’
• I want to ‘polish’ ideas vs ‘have’ them
• I doodle less (doodling helps me think)
• I don’t sketch (writing apps don’t like that)
• I don’t meditate on my words (typing is fast)

And that’s a problem.

I wonder if this contributes to why so much marketing (or products) feels boring, sterile, lifeless, void of personality.

If it’s been a minute since you tried paper… Give it a shot. You might reconnect with a part of yourself long forgotten.
