stay organized, you don\u2019t have to look much further than an <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a> store. There are countless tools designed to help you remember the important things in life. But what if the best way is to simply write it down?<\/p>\n<p>Research suggests this is the case\u2014more on that in a moment. And while each person has her own preferred method for writing notes and to-do lists, your brain holds onto information better after you\u2019ve written it down. That\u2019s a pretty good incentive for going old-school with a journal or day planner.<\/p>\n<p>But why does writing things by hand affect your brain that way?<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Your_Brain_Loves_Pen_and_Paper\"><\/span>Why Your Brain Loves Pen and Paper<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you type, you use your fine motor skills in a more limited way than when you write by hand. Using a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.lifesavvy.com\/reviews\/stylish-and-useful-spiral-bound-notebooks\/\">pen and paper is a deeper sensory experience than touching a keyboard. Since you\u2019re crafting each letter by hand, it requires more dexterity to write with a pen than it does to type.<\/p>\n<p>Things get interesting when you look at the impact this difference has on your brain. Handwriting\u2019s combination of motor skills, touch sensation, and visual perception actually reinforces the natural learning process.<\/p>\n<p>Researchers at the Norwegian Center for Learning Environment and Behavioural Research in Education found that reading handwritten text activates <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uis.no\/research-and-phd-studies\/research-areas\/school-and-learning\/learning-environment\/better-learning-through-handwriting-article29782-8869.html?articleID=29782&amp;categoryID=8869\">different parts of the brain<\/a> than reading typed text.<\/p>\n<p>Your memory of handwritten words is tied to the movements required to make each letter. This might be what helps the memory of what we\u2019ve written hang around in our brains a bit longer. Meanwhile, pressing buttons on a keyboard activates fewer areas of the brain, so we forget what we\u2019ve typed faster.<\/p>\n<p>This makes perfect sense when you think about how humans first evolved the ability to read and write. The process was highly connected to physical touch as, for thousands of years, handwriting involved carving symbols into rock or pressing them into clay. Our minds and bodies are primed for this kind of physical interaction with the world. But typing is a far cry from creating the shape of each individual letter by hand.<\/p>\n<p>So, when you write by hand, you actually give <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/markmurphy\/2018\/04\/15\/neuroscience-explains-why-you-need-to-write-down-your-goals-if-you-actually-want-to-achieve-them\/#1fd043e87905\">your brain\u2019s encoding process<\/a> a boost. Encoding refers to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/science.howstuffworks.com\/life\/inside-the-mind\/human-brain\/human-memory1.htm\">the process of sending information<\/a> to your brain\u2019s hippocampus, where the decision is made to either store the information long-term or let it go. If you write something by hand, all that complex sensory information increases the chances the knowledge will be stored for later.<\/p>\n<p>In short, writing by hand forces your brain to process information in a more detailed way, which helps you successfully load that information into your memory.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Should_You_Write_Down_and_When\"><\/span>What Should You Write Down, and When?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To reap these benefits, all you need to do is write things down by hand more often.

This simple strategy allows you to test out the benefits of handwriting notes.<\/p>\n<p>You can back up your list on your phone\u2019s calendar if you want. Soon, though, you might find you don\u2019t even need those notifications anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of handwriting your to-do list is not being distracted by a constant barrage of phone notifications and reminders.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jot_Down_Your_Goals\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_3\">Jot Down Your Goals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Another great way to test out this idea is to write down your goals. Having a written list of things you want to accomplish makes them feel more real, and prioritizes them in your brain.

Because handwriting takes longer, it forces you to think critically about what\u2019s really worth jotting down.<\/p>\n<p>This process of critical thinking can boost your memory even further and train your brain to hone in on the most important aspects of what you\u2019re learning and trying to remember.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Take_Notes_on_Podcasts_and_Shows\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Take Notes on Podcasts and Shows<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you listen to a podcast or watch a show to learn something, take a few notes.

That\u2019s because, as we mentioned above, writing by hand is always slower than typing.<\/p>\n<p>Students who handwrite notes can\u2019t write nearly as fast as a lecturer speaks, so they have to distill the information and make wise choices about what to write. This gives them a better working knowledge of the subject\u2014even if they never look at their notes again.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, those who type notes might simply transcribe the lecture, rather than processing the information in their own words.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re trying to learn something new from a show or podcast, you can use this same tactic to boost your memory. Even just writing down a few essential words and ideas can seriously improve your understanding.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Write_Down_Important_Stuff_More_Than_Once\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Write Down Important Stuff More Than Once<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Is something on your list really, really important?
