Going Back to Hand Written Notes
I have decided to go back to hand-written notes. For the last year or so I tried taking personal notes on meetings Notion, Google Docs, or Coda. While note taking on my machine I find that I can get distracted by other things that might be on the screen at the time. I realized that I rarely referenced them again, and if I did some times they were lacking some crucial context.
When I write notes by hand I find that I can recall a conversation or the context around the note easily. For even more recent notes I can recall myself writing the note. Coincidentally, Scientific American also recently wrote about its benefits to learning and memory.
I had a notebook my work gave me when I started a year ago that went empty the entire year. I just started using it again last week and will update on my experience in the future.
