Here are the four best advantages of Zoe to use a physical newspaper:
1. Improve your information withholding.
“Hand writing notes can improve cognitive processing, helping to retain information recorded in the physical newspaper. You can even customize it with drawings, prominent notes or sticky notes to help highlight the important content,” says Zoe.
In fact, scientists at the University of Tokyo revealed that the act of handwriting on physical role, with its different, complex, spatial and tactile elements that improve memory, causing an increase in productivity.1
2. Avoid digital -based distractions and doom displacement.
“A physical newspaper helps you to keep you focusing on the current task, unlike digital diaries that require various clicks to introduce details such as date, time and notes. Write things that are not quick and without distraction. There is also a temptation to check this Instagram notification for a pet roller or move around Linkedin,” says Zoe.
This has also been endorsed by recent research2 which found that the productivity of the workplace could decrease due to the distractions caused by smartphones and social media. One in three Australians has admitted that they are regularly distracted by telephones and social media at work, while more than half (51%) check them up to ten times a day.
3. Write your goals to do -you are responsible.
Going your goals helps activate the left (logical) and right (creative) parts of the brain.
“A physical newspaper can help increase the likelihood of achieving your goals, as they write down them encourages you to divide them into manageable steps and to think of them.”
“There is this satisfactory feeling of setting goals achieved or completing your task list,” says Zoe.
According to a recent study, the people who described or represent their goals vividly by writing -they were 1.2 to 1.4 times more likely to have achieved those who did not.3
4. Erase your mind and organize your thoughts.
“Occupational working hours can create stress and a general sense of being overwhelmed. Write down your thoughts and ideas can help break down everything that is happening and establish a sense of ease. Then it can lead you to organize thoughts in small milestones according to the structure of the newspaper,” says Zoe.
Writing in a newspaper or daily is commonly used to express thoughts and emotions, helping to reduce stress and anxiety. This practice can be applied to your work program, highlighting all appointments, meetings and reminders. Taking a look next week, you can approach one at a time.
