When I advise people to calm their mind and tame their workload by writing things down, they often become even more anxious. Write which things down? How much? How many? What's too much? What's enough?

I get it. First, breathe. Next, follow one simple rule: when in doubt, write down more instead of less. That's it.

Now just try it. I promise it'll be mostly fine.
