Writing Just 3 Sentences Each Day Can Massively Boost Your Productivity and HappinessI

Note: lots of great info in this article. Much more than 4 paragraphs will allow for, but this is well worth the read, imo.

Challenge you to find a daily habit that delivers more self-improvement bang for your buck.

As someone who writes about productivity and success, I come across a lot of life hacks, many of them sensible and research-backed. Meditate, spend time in nature, experience awe, have a hobby, keep a journal ... the list goes on and on. In fact, it goes on so long that anyone who follows this genre of advice quickly senses a problem.

If you tried to do all of these things, not only would your schedule explode but so would your brain.

Even the most go-getting among us only have so much free time and mental real estate. Which is why I am always on the lookout for advice so simple and compact you can squeeze it in between hungry toddlers, demanding clients, and the fifth Zoom of the day.

Much, much more at link!

writing is a wonderful way to do this. The writing forces you to be more articulate in your thoughts, organize more effectively while putting your thoughts on paper (or computer), and also, as an added bonus, keeps you in touch w/ your pen pals/friends/family/others on a regular basis. I exchange weekly blurbs w/ my sister and even thought it may be just a sentence or two, it serves its purpose.

I recommend don't call on the phone, there's already too much verbal talking in the society of today, and not enough of the verbal skills needed to effectively communicate.

Thanks for posting this ... I've bookmarked and look forward to reading at a later time.
