What if I told you that one of the most powerful, and at the same time simplest secrets to turn off stress, boost memory and achieve goals is not in a new application on your cell phone, but on a simple sheet of paper?
Well, yes, Ladies of hive, even this that I tell you is supported by scientific research.
We live hyperconnected and glued to the screens, without measuring the consequences for it, I recommend to enhance our mental health to return to the paper calendar for some things. Be careful... It's not nostalgia, this recommendation is based on the results of analysis and scientific studies that show that taking notes on paper protects our brain from digital saturation and prevents us from its damages.
Handwriting activates the "Memory Effect". By transforming an abstract idea into ink on paper, you involve brain areas of long-term planning that the mechanical keyboard of the cell phone does not achieve. In fact, writing on paper really engages our brain! Because it allows us to plan physically, it gives us a refuge without WhatsApp notifications, or email alerts. It reduces anxiety and gives us that wonderful satisfaction of crossing off a completed task. The physical calendar allows us to anticipate events with enthusiasm and preserve memories; it is, in the end, a physical record of our life.
My secret? The hybrid model: I use my cell phone for immediate alarms, but I use paper to plan work and wellness goals. Organizing my week on paper reduces my anxiety about "hyperproductivity” and gives me a mental clarity that the cell phone, with its constant noise, takes away from me.
That allows me to give my mind a break when I'm overwhelmed by notifications that keep my eyes glued to the phone that also deteriorates my personal self-care.
Big hug for everyone, Ladies. Nice day.

I think that is a marvelous way to do things! We spend SO much time on devices and honestly, writing, in any form by hand, is a thing that is being lost! They no longer teach cursive writing in the schools here, so how will the youth of today and tomorrow, be able to read things from history that are handwritten in that fashion? So sad, really!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day! !LADY

I can completely understand @janitzearratia
I found this writing exercise as an art form as practiced in years past. It came with a study in Manuscript art and developed an appreciation of the art form.
Rather than hand writing, I employ Calligraphy and developed my own hand drawn work that forces me to make a mental work around of my Dyslexia issue since I was a child.
It worked for me since. This boils down to an exercise in patience and clear thinking the moment before you write.
Thanks for sharing Sis.
