Write It Down. Your Brain Is For Creating Ideas, Not Storing Them

One of the best ways to increase productivity is to write things down, instead of cluttering your mind with details.
If you read a hundred books on productivity, one thing that is guaranteed to be in every one of them is an emphasis on writing things down.
Every time you write something down, you are freeing your mind from thinking about it, and that leaves your mind open to focus on other tasks.
This is because the human mind isn't good at multi-tasking. The more things your mind is thinking about, the less productive you become. Having less to think about not only makes you more productive, but more creative. It's like giving your mind a vacation.
Since your brain uses as much as 20% of the glucose in your blood, freeing up your mind will actually give you more energy.
It doesn't matter if you use a high tech device or paper and pen to record your thoughts, the main thing is to get them out of your mind, and into something you can refer to later. Just be sure you use something reliable... the last thing you need is to clutter your mind with where you put it.
