Blazing sunshine in Lancashire today. Writing in #longhand rather than struggling to see a laptop screen and I’m reminded I should do this more often for drafts (v0.5) as I’m not derailed by tidying up my lousy typing. #writing #writingcommunity

#Longhand is #Writing by hand. #Typing is also writing by hand.

I tried to start the practice of "morning pages" this morning to see if it would free up my mind a little bit but my hand started hurting really bad.

It seems fountain pens are the way to go so I will need to see what I can find. What a pain. It's really quite unpleasant lol.

I don't know how I did this for hours a day at school and uni. It's murder.

I might have to rest my hand soon and try again tomorrow... I could only manage one large A4 page (without lines) before it became too painful.

At least I tried.
Ouch.

The poorer effects of digital note-taking in some studies are due to distractions. Surprise. Not. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0361476X21000849?fbclid=IwAR1ceP0V4s-D_GDyNnAKsY8blg1YXIm4vCzpB1XNsakhuVH7KQwsXbnFgVY

#NoteTaking #longhand

I have discovered the use of #longhand drafting. Now I #amwriting and it's great to feel productive and make progress again.

I'm gonna start writing offline, the old fashioned way. Dk why I stopped doing that. Social media and blogging sites haven't really been the most beneficial for me in that regard.

So back to the old notebooks...
