🖋️ Want to retain more, understand deeper, and think clearer? Write—don’t type. Research from Princeton and UCLA (2014) revealed that students who took notes by hand had significantly better conceptual understanding than those who typed.
Why? Because handwriting activates the Reticular Activating System (RAS)—a part of the brain that filters and prioritizes information. When you write, your brain decides what matters. You’re not just copying—you’re processing, integrating, and encoding meaning.
Typing is fast. Writing is mindful. Whether you’re a student, coach, educator, or entrepreneur—handwriting helps you slow down, reflect, and retain. It’s not just about memory—it’s about mastery.
