Hello, hello, my dear friends! Thank you for joining me for this new episode of Walk with Johan. It is a great pleasure to have you with me today for this walk during which, as usual, like every Wednesday, we will talk about personal development, and in this case today about writing, thinking on paper. "Thinking on paper" is the title of this episode. Think on paper is a recommendation that I have for you and that a great author that I love very much had for all of us.
Before moving on to the content, let me invite you to check out the free Authentic French course, the latest version of the free course. We completely updated it this summer and you can now discover the 7 rules of Authentic French, which I even renamed "7 rules for speaking French without getting stuck". You go to www.francaisauthentique.com/cours-gratuit or you click on the link in the description and you can check out these 7 rules, this new version of the free course, once again. We had the old version in 2014, and now we have a new version with videos that are much more... how can I say it? They are already of professional quality and they are a little... I think you have some support through editing that helps you understand better.
So let's talk about thinking on paper. This netherlands whatsapp number data is a subject that I have already discussed in previous episodes and I got this expression from Jim Rohn, the famous American speaker and writer who influenced me a lot, you know, because I talk about him very, very often. Jim Rohn, I listen to him very, very often even today. And every time I listen to him, I have ideas. Really, he is one of the few content creators who have managed to interest me and help me for years and years.
And so he always recommended thinking on paper, recommended keeping a journal, which is what I've been doing for several years now. But ultimately, whether you do it in a journal or somewhere else, he recommends that you think on paper.
It's hard to think, it's hard to think only in your head, in your mind, because I find it anxiety-provoking, that is to say a bit of a source of anxiety, a source of fear, to have these thoughts only in our head. It gives us too much information in the end.
And our brain is made to have ideas, it is not made to remember them. I don't remember who said that. Maybe it was David Hallen. No, there is no Hallen, there is no "h". You know, we French, we don't pronounce "h", but sometimes, when we want to speak English, we add an "h" where there is none. But in any case, it was David Allen who wrote GTD, eh for Getting Things Done . So I don't even know how it was translated into French, but it doesn't matter. It's a book that helps you organize yourself and in which he said that our brain is made to have ideas, not to remember them, and he's right. So we have too much information and we lack clarity when we are constantly thinking about the same thing and reflecting on the same subject.
