重拾手寫 塗塗畫畫提高記憶力還能減壓

1. Doodle.
1、塗鴉

Show this to your boss the next time it appears like you're slacking off. Research suggests that giving your pen free reign to paper during a meeting can — surprise! —help you pay attention.
下次在你塗鴉卻看起來像是在偷懶的時候，把這篇文章拿給你老闆看看。研究表明，開會時在紙上塗塗寫寫可以幫助你集中注意力。驚訝吧！

2. Write your to-do list.
2、寫下待辦事項。

Keeping track of your tasks on actual paper can now come with an added memory benefit: Instead of relying on your Gchat task list or the notes and reminders on your smartphone, try scribbling your to-do list. Bonus: You’ll also reap the perks of a little unplugging.
在紙上記錄下你的任務如今可以爲你的記憶力帶來額外的好處：不去依靠你手機上的Gchat（聊天工具）任務列表或是筆記和備忘錄，試着寫下你的待辦事項。附加值：拔掉電源一小會兒，你也會獲得額外的收穫。

3. Journal.
3、日誌

If you haven't jumped on journaling yet, here's your excuse. Incorporate more writing in your life by putting down three things you're thankful for each day. Studies show that gratitude can boost positive emotions and make you more optimistic.
如果你還沒開始寫日誌，這就是你的藉口。通過記錄每一天中令你感激的3件事來爲生活增添更多文字作品。研究表明，感激可以帶來積極情緒，並使你更樂觀。

4. Physically map out your schedule.
4、籌劃並記錄你的日程

Yet again, enjoy the perks of a little tech-free time by using a physical schedule. You'll enjoy the benefits of writing (and remembering better!) when your events are taking place, and you never have to worry about a dead battery with a planner.
再一次，通過使用有形的日程表，享受在一小段時間裏不使用任何電子產品的特權。當你進行到某項日程的時候，你會享受從文字中獲得的益處（還可以獲得更好的記憶力！）。而且，你再也不用擔心寫着備忘錄的電子設備電池沒電了。

5. Write a thank you note.
5、寫一封感謝信

The next time someone does something extraordinary for you — or even if you just want to thank them for their support — put your appreciation in writing. Not only will your kindness make them happier, it will boost your own joy levels as well.
下次其他人爲你做了一件特別的事情的時候，或者你只是想感謝他們的支持的時候，下你對他們的感激。你的好意不僅會使他們更高興，而且也會使你自己更快樂。

Sorry, keyboards. Sometimes old school is still the best way to go.
抱歉，鍵盤。有時候守舊派依然是最好的方式。
