Writing as measure of emotional health

For me, one of the signs of health in emotional margin is how much I’m writing in my notebook each week. If pages begin to stack up without any notes, ideation, or doodling, it’s a sign that I’m not slowing down enough to think on paper.

It’s also a sign that one is deliberately avoiding being alone with their thoughts. One gentle way to prod at this is to start making your todo list on paper instead of in your reminder/other todo app. Notes can follow later, and fresh ideation after – at their own pace.
