Sabrina, I often write notes in my Notion about things that struck me, often from some social interaction I had (or witnessed), or some other notable life incident. Usually I would scribble down some of my thoughts and feelings on it too. It sounds like your exercise isn't just about writing down things that strike you and reflecting on them, right? Sounds more like journaling even without a specific thought or incident in mind?
The cognitive overload part is so true. Sometimes I just go and lock myself away in my room and tell everyone to stay out!
That is one way to do it Wendy!
We're not meant to be on all the time. Glad you've found a way to have alone time with your thoughts.
Yes, it's very enjoyable. Plus it doubles as an afternoon nap!

Yes Sieran, it's not just about getting it all out without censoring, but then giving time to reflect on themes or concepts to explore deeper.
Often the loudest thing gets our attention but it might not be where we should put our focus or attention.
Filtering out and acting on the important stuff is the skill.
