RE: Journal to Capture Your Brain

in GEMS3 years ago

great process and lets you capture notes and ideas when you're away from the computer. I create paper journals. Might be interesting to explore creating one that ties into a note-taking system. Thanks for the food for thought.

Sort:  

Glad I could be of use. I also keep a daily journal. I couldn't miss it because I love my fountain pens and I buy only the nicest journals. It's one of my favorite parts of the day. Often when I have something to think through I'll do it there instead of inside Obsidian.

Been reading material that often the hand writing process is more effective for working through thinking something out than using the keyboard. You'll definitely retain it longer.

Yeah, I've come across much of that too. In the world of copywriting, it's common to hear someone tell you to write out high-performing sales letters multiple times in order to internalize the structure and patterns of thinking employed by the masters.

I have seen that as well. I've also read about writers who spend time handwriting works they want to embrace. I guess the principle would work just about anywhere. Some of the great artists started out copying the style of other masters and then developed their own style.
