When I was kid, I used to like writing, especially novels and random staff for my life. All of suddenly, I found it becomes really hard for me to write, not just for paper, also for just daily life thoughts. Technology really shortens my attention. We have cellphones that I can write down anything on twitter or social media. The desire to well sort and write down my thoughts keeps been interrupted and stopped. It is a really bad habit. 

Talking about writing down thoughts, most of people told me it helps a lot when you have some great idea that you do not want it to just losing in the wind. You need to write them down in a notebook and keeps reminding yourself and realize it. The first thought, we have google doc, TBD, task, all kinds of technology, why do we need a notebook. It turns out we indeed need it. Or life will just like running water. Without carefully planning and reorganizing, sometimes, I do waste my time. 

Another thoughts comes from recent research experience. Due to the computer science major, almost everything in my area evolves really fast. Sometimes, documentation becomes a burden. But documentation is the only way to communicate with developer and user. So the result is forum. It seems hard for me to describe my problem in a simple way that other people can understand. I need more practices I think. The better way to analogy or metaphor your work into a simple scenario needs thoughtful insight and well understanding the hinge of your problem. 

It is always nice to find out your weakness and always hard to keep track of it and improving yourself. I would like to use this method to remind me and keep working on it.
