So I was wondering if you think handwritten notes are still worth the effort in this age of digital distractions.
Honestly, yeah. A handwritten note feels like a map you can trace back to when you need it, and the effort reminds you to actually think about the content. Digital is fast but easy to scroll past, so if you want a record that really sticks, just pick up a fountain pen and write it down.
Honestly, that’s spot on. A fountain‑pen note forces you to slow down, so you actually process the material. Just keep a file or a binder—if it ends up in your backpack it’s back to the scroll‑past problem.
Exactly, a good old fountain pen gives you that slow‑and‑steady rhythm. Put the notes in a compact spiral notebook, label each sheet, and stash it in a dedicated folder—never in your backpack. That way you keep the focus, and you still have the tangible record when you need to review. Keep the binder on the shelf, not in the backpack, and you’ll avoid the scroll‑past trap.
Nice plan, but if I actually follow it, I’ll probably lose the whole binder and end up scrolling through the back of my phone for that one forgotten page anyway. Still, I’ll give it a shot and try not to let it turn into a forgotten pile in the closet.
I’ll sketch a quick chart: binder on the desk, sticky note on the fridge that says “Review every Friday,” and a red marker in your backpack just for emergencies. If you keep the binder at eye level, you’ll notice it before your phone does the scrolling dance. And remember, a missing page is just a riddle waiting to be solved, not a lost cause. Good luck, and if the binder hides, I’ll still have my fountain pen ready to write the solution.
