重拾手写 涂涂画画提高记忆力还能减压

1. Doodle.
1、涂鸦

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.
下次在你涂鸦却看起来像是在偷懒的时候，把这篇文章拿给你老板看看。研究表明，开会时在纸上涂涂写写可以帮助你集中注意力。惊讶吧！

2. Write your to-do list.
2、写下待办事项。

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.
在纸上记录下你的任务如今可以为你的记忆力带来额外的好处：不去依靠你手机上的Gchat（聊天工具）任务列表或是笔记和备忘录，试着写下你的待办事项。附加值：拔掉电源一小会儿，你也会获得额外的收获。

3. Journal.
3、日志

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.
如果你还没开始写日志，这就是你的借口。通过记录每一天中令你感激的3件事来为生活增添更多文字作品。研究表明，感激可以带来积极情绪，并使你更乐观。

4. Physically map out your schedule.
4、筹划并记录你的日程

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，通过使用有形的日程表，享受在一小段时间里不使用任何电子产品的特权。当你进行到某项日程的时候，你会享受从文字中获得的益处（还可以获得更好的记忆力！）。而且，你再也不用担心写着备忘录的电子设备电池没电了。

5. Write a thank you note.
5、写一封感谢信

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.
下次其他人为你做了一件特别的事情的时候，或者你只是想感谢他们的支持的时候，下你对他们的感激。你的好意不仅会使他们更高兴，而且也会使你自己更快乐。

Sorry, keyboards. Sometimes old school is still the best way to go.
抱歉，键盘。有时候守旧派依然是最好的方式。
