Francis Bacon said, “Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
Writing needn’t be a formal enterprise to have this effect. You don’t have to write well. You don’t even have to “write,” exactly — you can just talk onto the page. - James Somers, September 27, 2012
I am not an
organized note taker. I have a terrible sense of writing. Basically, my
notebook is... a mess. I have a good excuse; in the note taking moment,
the speed is the most important. I am not creating a note to publish.
Also, he writes about the book Field Notes on Science & Nature, describes the field notebook is "the site of a collision between a mind and a world". As Bacon said, writing will not only keep your outflow, but also changes the way you live.
“Reading maketh a full man; and writing an axact man. And, therefore, if
a man write little, he need have a present wit; and if he read little,
he need have much cunning to seem to know which he doth not.” - Francis Bacon
