When I’m in a meeting and I remember to write down what I want to say, then I get almost the same relief as saying it. The first time I did this, my boss told me how he thought I was writing down profound things – because I’m highly regarded for my problem solving ability (I have a technical job). It made me smile. For me, writing down things on paper helps me to filter what I choose to say – and when I choose to say it. If it still looks profound in a few minutes, I can say it then. Most of the things I wrote down didn’t need saying – but I didn’t lose track of those that really needed saying.
