Writing by hand effectively is vital to learning, communication, and being able to think and analyze for yourself.

It's something I cannot get enough of.

I write by hand when:

- Researching at the computer

- Detailing dates, times, locations, and odd observations in log books

- Creating "morning pages"

- Brainstorming

- I need to vent

- I'm thinking of missed loved ones and missed connections

- I trace the Arabic letters of the Quran

- Keeping key reminders during presentations

- Making a list of things I must do the next day

Writing by hand is your connection.

Without it, life begins to fall apart.
