WHY CHOOSE PENCIL AND PAPER?

Research shows that writing by hand is much healthier for you.

Handwriting activates more neural pathways than typing does -- leading to many long-term health benefits.

Here are just a few reasons why it's important to use pencil and paper:
Memory Retention - Slowing down and writing it out by hand engages your brain to actually understand and reflect on what you're doing.
Brain Activity - Writing on paper activates more regions of your brain than computers or smartphones -- enhancing your capacity to store and retrieve information.
Reduced Stress - Writing on paper promotes focus and eliminates distractions. It fosters a deeper connection to mind and body without over-stimulation.

At the end of the day, using analog tools make us more human. Beyond the benefits, it reminds us of who we are.
