Keypads Vs Pens: Why Handwriting Still Matters in the Digital Age

From grocery lists on your notes app to contracts with clients in your Google Drive, digital documentation is the go-to for practically everything we need to remember. Speed, accessibility, ease of storage, and retrieval all make it seem superior in every way to old-school pen and paper record-keeping.

But what if we told you that slow and cumbersome writing with your hand has advantages when it comes to learning and remembering compared to typing?

Often I see entrepreneurs swing from the extreme of planning only what has a true deadline (e.g., meetings and deliverables) on the one end to trying to plan every minute of every day on the other. It’s not all that surprising that neither of these are the right fit.
