Meeting notes, letters, journal entries, lists, mind mapping, whatever, it gives you a reason to use cool pens/markers, notebooks/paper. You can also practice your handwriting like when you were a kid (btw did anyone else’s school ascribe social status to the way you wrote a lowercase “a”?). This includes cursive which is a dying art!
Something something scientific studies about how writing by hand helps with processing information and emotions… but mostly, it’s just an awesome sensory experience. It makes your notes, ideas, etc. really feel like YOUR OWN.

a lost art. when i was i school this was the only way i could retain anything. even when i write personal essays and stuff now, i feel like i understand the subject matter better when i take time to hand write key points and notes. also i just love the chicness of a notebook and pen.

Digital tools are necessary for a lot of things, but more and more I'm looking for ways to start and supplement my workflows offline
Recently I drafted several emails in a notebook by hand — I realized upon review that they were more creative and thoughtful, which was good, because they were high-stakes communications
Although I do have digital productivity tools in my life, nothing beats—for me—a handwritten list of tasks
I keep a tiny notebook in my pocket for jotting stuff down. I realize that if I whip out my phone to jot down an idea, I may get list in the machine and forget the idea before I've even recorded it.
Also some writing, by hand, at the start and end of the day to observe and consider the day
...okay, after re-reading your rec, I don't know if this is even applicable or on topic so I'm gonna wrap up and click "Share"

I hate when books end. It’s so uncomfortable. I want to know how it ends but it’s always like this harsh jolt back to reality
grief ?
