Alex In My Inbox is a weekly copywriting series where I share interesting, actionable, and hilarious copywriting tips from "Alex". Alex is an anonymous copywriter who shares these tips with me so I can share them with you.  Today, Alex has an email for us about why you should write more, and how helpful it can be for you in the long term if you stay consistent with it.  Check this out. You don’t wanna miss this one.  But first...  We all know that meetings are fundamental in business.  So I like to say: Those who master meetings, master business.  That's exactly why I'm excited to share a platform that revolutionized how I handle meetings and webinars: [Sessions](  SESSIONS isn't just another meeting platform. No, NO!  It's an AI-driven powerhouse that streamlines everything from one-on-ones to webinars while ensuring maximum engagement and productivity.  Imagine [replacing your entire meeting stack]( with a single powerful, intuitive tool.  Think Zoom + Calendly + Otter + Miro + Webinars & the Zapier between them, all streamlined in a single, unified workspace.  It’s a great fit for coaches, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs alike.  Anyone who works remotely will also get a ton of value from [SESSIONS.]( As a special deal, I negotiated for my network, sessions is offering 30% off their annual plans.  Use the discount code chase at checkout.

I journal every day, and I write copy for my clients. I spend at least 3 hours a day writing something, no matter what. I can tell you that I’ve noticed a stark difference between my brain now and my brain before I was writing consistently. I feel like a different person. I compiled a mini-list of the benefits of writing every day, and hopefully it convinces people to do the same. Benefit #1: Writing quiets your mind. If you put down your phone and sit in silence, you realize that your brain is talking to you 24/7. Sometimes it’s annoying. You have thoughts running, mental alarms going off, etc. You’re always worried about something. You really don’t know the level of peace that you feel when you sit in silence (without your phone), and it’s TRULY silent. A blank mind. Complete silence. This is bliss. If you ever experience anxiety — or just a hyperactive inner voice — this is the easiest and fastest way to cure it. A quiet mind is a clear mind, and a clear mind is a canvas for creativity and internal exploration. Benefit #2: Writing makes you a better storyteller. The thing that separates a bad storyteller from a great storyteller is the clarity with which you explain each event in order. If you’re a bad storyteller, it’s likely because your brain is scattered when trying to recall each event. When you write, you give yourself the time to jot down each event in order, without the pressure of being in front of someone and having to deliver a story that’ll make someone laugh, cry, or have their jaw on the floor. Writing stories gives you the muscle memory to follow the natural string of a story, and it helps you when telling another story in person to an audience. Benefit #3: Writing improves your memory. I’m not a scientist. I honestly don’t know why this works, but it just does. I can notice a real difference in my ability to memorize and recall certain words when I’m writing a lot, and when I’m not. We all have moments when we completely blank on a person’s name, a word we need to use, or what we had for breakfast yesterday. This just doesn’t happen when you write a thousand (or more) words per day. It’s kind of like taking the limitless pill from that movie. You just feel like you have more mental horsepower. Benefit #4: Writing makes you speak better. We make a lot of mistakes when we speak. Grammatically, structurally, etc. When you write more than you talk, you start to talk like you write. I know that’s the opposite of what we usually talk about (write like you talk), but you don’t use filler words or aimless tangents when you write. Again, with muscle memory, this will make you a better communicator when speaking. A better speaker = a more respected and trustworthy individual. What do you think of these, Chase? I know you love writing, and maybe you’ve thought of more benefits than just these 4. I’ll never stop writing. I hope that this little list helps your audience start a blog or an email list or something. It’s like going to the gym for your brain.
