Sharpening the thoughts through writing them down….

In the midst of tablets and smartphones, there is still merit to write things down instead of typing on virtual keypads. When the fingers feel a little pressure holding the pen and writing the letters on a piece of paper, a pulse reaches the brain that chisels the thoughts making them clear and sharper. It gives immediate feedback questioning the thought process and defines the contours of the raw idea held within.

I love writing. And where one needs to capture the thoughts like snapshots for future reference or where one needs to share the idea with others for their point of view, writing down comes handy. Thinking through does not happen unless you think far, think wide and think deep and writing things down enhances the process of thinking through. 

It definitely helps everyone, especially those who are always in a rush like startup entrepreneurs whose mind is running at a pace with ideas and questions on products, marketing plan, business plan, content strategy, funding so on and so forth. And in this rush one tends to miss thinking through. It is better to take a pause, rest a little bit and put the thoughts down on paper to avoid ambiguity and something to refer to at a later time. In fact, it saves a lot of time.
