Eeek! The holidays are over, and it’s time to get back to studying. As you return to lectures, notes, and papers, The Word Nerd encourages you to seriously consider keeping good old fashioned pens and paper handy in your desk and backpack. And I’m not just saying that because I’m old. 😉 Writing things by hand stimulates more parts of your brain than typing does, and it helps you focus… all of which helps you retain information.
Not convinced? Check on my post on Handwriting vs. Typing. You might even want to grab a fun color pen (my favorites are Pilot Precise V5 and Paper Mate Ink Joy) and take a few notes. 😉
What are your thoughts on the benefits of handwriting? And… what are your favorite pens?
Thanks for getting nerdy with me!
I’m all over this and in my experience, TOTALLY TRUE! Thank you. As for pens…I have so many favorites :))) (def love the ink joy!)
Handwriting may be good for me but it would be awful for anyone who has to read it. Evidently, writing by hand does not necessarily engage the “chirographic legibility” portion of the brain! LOL!
