< NoteTaking Navelgazing

~whiskeyding

I've become a better note-taker by going with a small notebook and a pen (I settled on the Uniball Jetstream after trying a bunch of different pens and pencils). I had to relearn how to write cursive, but after a few weeks it became easier and smoother and I didn't have to think about it much.

Analog note-taking engages a different part of your brain than fiddling around with tech. I find my thinking becomes more linear, my words more considered. It's probably slower, but the end product is more useful to me.

Latest non-fiction I really enjoyed: Against the Grain: A Deep History of the Earliest States, by James C. Scott.

I've seen people mention this, I will have to check it out.
