About This Quote
Writing things down is a great way to get ideas out of your head and onto the paper. Keep a journal or notebook and write down ideas, thoughts or comments. This also gives you a chance to organize your thoughts so that they make sense when you go back and read them. If you find yourself writing notes furiously on a piece of paper, try recording instead.
