✍️ Handwriting > Typing.
It boosts memory, focus, and creativity in ways a keyboard can't. Slower, yes—but that's the point.

Why Handwriting Beats Typing (and Science Proves it!)
Handwriting isn’t old-fashioned—it’s powerful.
In a world of laptops and apps, I rediscovered pen and paper—and it completely changed how I think, plan, and reflect. Science shows handwriting boosts memory, focus, and understanding. But beyond the studies, it creates space to slow down, process ideas, and connect more deeply with your thoughts.
In this video, I share why journaling and note-taking by hand have become my most valuable daily habits—and why you might want to give it a try.

It's been a productive week of reading. Finished The Hero of Ages reread. Then reread The Nova Incident so I could read @dmoren.com newest book The Armageddon Protocol. Loved every minute of both of those. Now back to Mistborn. Finished The Allot of Law last night. Now to this one! 🪐📚💙

I find it increasingly fun to just tinker with things. Today, it was tinkering with my audio setup in my office. I cleaned things up a bit and am pleased with the results.

Some days really test my faith in humanity and make me wonder why I chose the career I did. Today is one such day. I can't help but be upset at being called an asshole just because I didn't give someone the answer they wanted. I told them the truth instead.
