Default The power of writing by hand (as opposed to typing)

Glenn recently posted about writing by pen and paper (that is, writing by hand) before...

"And one recent study of hers demonstrated that in grades two, four and six, children wrote more words, faster, and expressed more ideas when writing essays by hand versus with a keyboard."


You might benefit even if your handwriting looks like chicken scratch marks in the dirt (like mine does)!

P.S. I still mostly type though...

P.P.S. I recently tried an experiment where I wrote what I wanted "to do" each day by hand, as opposed to typing it up (I've done both in the past)... I found writing it up by hand to be more motivational - and I feel I ended up getting more done - compared to typing it up...
