Reading it is more impactful

“I think we should reschedule all of our home tasks and errands.” I confidently said to my wife. Her distrustful look and the smirk told me I was, maybe, walking on thin ice. I decided to leave the subject.

Just a few days later she sent me the link to an article about organizing home office, home school and everything else at home.

She had read it . She said I should read it.

So I did. It suggested we should relax some standards we abide ourselves to. We should move some priorities, etc. We did, things has been working out better.

So you see, people could hear some fact or advise and their minds might discard it. It depends on how biased you think the other party is. Also depends on the moment you are going through. But the funny thing is that our brains will give so much more authority to a written text than to spoken word.

Just by reading something that before you understood intuitively, it suddenly seems so obvious, so revealing. Like it always should have been this clear.

So use it in your own favor. Set your goals. Write them. Make a plan. Write it. Have a schedule. Write it.

And also if you have someone to persuade, find some texts written by someone else or even write them yourself. It might just be the tipping point of their view of the world.
