I find the sound of an ultra fine felt tip pen on a 120gsm weight paper to be extremely satisfying. Slowing down and writing each letter individually, instead of my quick, scribbly, half-handwriting I do at work, really helps you identify each thought as it comes out on the paper.
@@NaphtaliRosenbergI use the Sharpie ones, it’s a 0.4mm, they work great! The lid feels like it could come off in your pocket or bag, if nudged perfectly, but I have not had a problem.
Thirty minutes of writing on paper feels like meditating. The act is calming, grounding, and strangely therapeutic. On the other hand, typing and staring at a screen for the same amount of time drains my energy and leaves me feeling fuzzy, disconnected. That’s the difference. Writing on paper is more than just putting thoughts down; it feels like a ritual, a quiet moment of clarity. It’s an old tradition, and doing it feels like reaching back to a simpler time-like connecting with something timeless and meaningful.
Seriously, handwriting is the best for journaling... typing on a phone or computer is so robotic. With autocorrect and all, it loses that human touch, you know? Awesome video, man!
Physical writing grounds me in a way that digital writing never can. I also love to reflect on old writings, and I love noticing the shifts in my handwriting, it’s almost like time traveling but with my body, I can remember my exact feelings when I wrote those words.
Great points! For me, I do a bit of both. I notice that my tendency for perfection is holding me back to fully commit to analog writing. Like my handwriting is terrible, I can’t easily delete what I wrote and it tends to look messy and unstructured. Your points make me want to lean into the discomfort of imperfection and see more of my character and „humanness“ in my writing! „The things that have meaning are finite in life“.☺️
I love handwriting. One thing I love about my handwriting is recognizing my mom’s handwriting within it. Some letters … you see where I am coming from 😅
I like handwriting journls too. I used to write book and movie reviews on GoodReads and Letterboxd but these days Ive moved to physical journaling like in school. First I like the privacy, owning it physically and if my friends want to see i can lend them.

This is why I hand write my notes in law school! It sticks better and slowing down improves my comprehension. Love this!
nice! definitely makes a difference
