Noted!

While our ever increasing addiction to our smartphones may not be any indicator, we still firmly believe in the time-honored tradition of jotting things down. Science seems to agree. Studies show that tasks that have yet to be done can cause us stress, but even identifying them, say, by recording and formulating a plan of attack, can ease anxiety. Simply writing things down will make you feel better and will actually make you more effective. So move beyond iCal and those apps for list-making, and return to the simple tools we’ve always relied on; pen and paper. From gorgeous journals, thoughtful planners, stylish pads to have at the ready and the writing instruments for letting it all out, we’ve got the goods.
