Time management helps you be successful

Writing things down is something that successful people have in common.

Apart from keeping idle moments to a minimum, how does writing things down help?

It frees up your mind to focus on other thoughts.

When you have three items to shop for and don't make a list you often spend the day reminding yourself or wasting mental energy remembering your short list.

If you write a 'To Do' list of items as they occur to you, you are suddenly 'free' to put the list out of your mind and spend your day working on that bigger challenge.

Taking notes is also a good way to memorise things you want to remember. The simple act of writing something down helps your mind remember the subject.
