小編導(dǎo)讀：

想要使腦瓜更敏銳？那就拿起筆來。書寫是能夠提高記憶力的。

研究表明，與那些在課堂上用電腦打字來記筆記的學(xué)生相比，上課手寫筆記的學(xué)生的成績(jī)更好。雖然用筆記本電腦記筆記更快，但卻影響了學(xué)習(xí)。然而在當(dāng)今社會(huì)，擺脫電子設(shè)備無論如何都是一項(xiàng)挑戰(zhàn)。但是，除了提高記憶力之外，書寫還有其他的好處。研究表明，寫下你的煩惱并把那張寫有煩惱的紙條丟掉可以使你保持清醒的頭腦。此外，表達(dá)性寫作也許還可以減壓。

以下是在生活中融入亂寫亂涂的幾個(gè)方式以及應(yīng)該這樣做的幾個(gè)更科學(xué)的理由。

1.?Doodle.
1、涂鴉

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.
下次在你涂鴉卻看起來像是在偷懶的時(shí)候，把這篇文章拿給你老板看看。研究表明，開會(huì)時(shí)在紙上涂涂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(xiàng)。

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(wù)如今可以為你的記憶力帶來額外的好處：不去依靠你手機(jī)上的Gchat（聊天工具）任務(wù)列表或是筆記和備忘錄，試著寫下你的待辦事項(xiàng)。附加值：拔掉電源一小會(huì)兒，你也會(huì)獲得額外的收獲。

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.
如果你還沒開始寫日志，這就是你的借口。通過記錄每一天中令你感激的3件事來為生活增添更多文字作品。研究表明，感激可以帶來積極情緒，并使你更樂觀。

4. Physically map out your schedule.
4、籌劃并記錄你的日程

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(shí)間里不使用任何電子產(chǎn)品的特權(quán)。當(dāng)你進(jìn)行到某項(xiàng)日程的時(shí)候，你會(huì)享受從文字中獲得的益處（還可以獲得更好的記憶力?。６?，你再也不用擔(dān)心寫著備忘錄的電子設(shè)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.
下次其他人為你做了一件特別的事情的時(shí)候，或者你只是想感謝他們的支持的時(shí)候，下你對(duì)他們的感激。你的好意不僅會(huì)使他們更高興，而且也會(huì)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(shí)候守舊派依然是最好的方式。
