Comment on Short attention span

I’m working on writing down lists on paper by hand, not typing into a device. I can copy over to a device, but the writing by hand is helpful.
And sometimes I’ll write down tasks that I did finish already. For me, seeing the number of completed tasks doesn’t matter much, but just the break to reflect on what has been done is grounding.
Sometimes even break the list into multiple lists, such as one where you move all the yard tasks to, and kitchen tasks, and cleaning tasks…, if the main list gets too long.

There is actually some neuroscience behind this one. The act of hand writing activate more areas of the brain than typing the same info.
This is a popular press article covering some of these studies.
