Let’s talk about writing down goals for a second.

There is a little bit of “Neuromagic”  that happens when you write things down that you want to achieve.  

It is called encoding.  Encoding not only engages the hippocampus and sets it up for better memory retrieval, it also engages other areas of the brain such as the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), temporal lobe, parietal lobe, thalamus and basal ganglia.  

All of these areas engage during the encoding process and similar areas kick into gear when it is time for retrieval.  

If you have some goals in mind for 2021, write them down, visit them often and let the “neuromagic” happen!
