Great Post.
The Pros and Cons List part of your post also ties in with the topic of sleep.

Sitting down and putting pen to paper and listing all of the things you've got swirling around in your head can be an effective way to de-stress.

Some people call it a Brain Dump and the idea is that once you've written it all down, your mind doesn't have to keep chugging away at it. I very often find that a lot of solutions seem to bubble up the next day after this.

Not sure if it's because of the good night's sleep or some other reason.

I prefer actually writing on paper to typing because it just feels more solid.

Looking forward to your next post.
