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.
