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.

I „downgraded“ from tablet to pen and paper again and it’s just so much better. It’s much more relaxing and feels more natural. I hope we remain this culture technique alive for many more millennia.

Absolutely. I pitch the remarkable line of tablets to anyone who will listen because they don't do anything. They are just a surface on which to write. It is slower than typing, but I find my thoughts are much clearer when I have to form my own words in my own hand.
