Write these down!

A highly underrated activity is writing down your principles for dealing with a variety of situations.

This is something that has recently been popularized by Ray Dalio --> the idea of identifying and writing down your core principles which will help you navigate the world and situations in a better way.

I've talked before about my notebook that I keep each day.

I use Evernote and I make a note with the date at the beginning of each day.

Each note simply covers my thoughts each day. I also include some of the most important things that I do in the day.

It's a kind of autobiography that I keep every single day.. A letter to myself, if you will.

I haven't spent a ton of time looking back at old notes though, I feel that that type of introspection will come soon enough, but at the moment, I'm moving forward and focused on that.

When you write things down, even if you don't go back and read them, you're gaining a great benefit.

A benefit of clarity of mind. There's nothing that can beat it!
