This should start off with a basic question - When was the last time you wrote?
No, not on the keyboard exercise, but the actual pen and paper thing? Can't remember? Well, then you should probably read this.
These are times, where we do a lot of work on our digital devices. The massive reports which we prepare for work, the various excel sheets that we drool upon during our work times, the blogs we write, the posts we like and love - all of it. We scroll through many articles on the net, type in comments. Our tweets, our posts, everything is digital now.
So at this time, let's make it a point to revamp and think the time when we used to write a lot of papers during our school time? Feels nostalgic, right? That's the thing with pen and paper, they are becoming nostalgic. Even though, they are always present around us.
I work as a sales professional, and most of my time is spent in front of my laptop, as part of work. And most often, all these devices have become our life in short - spanning everything we do, to everything we know. I do take a pen and paper onto my hand, but it's very rare, to calculate things, to jot down points, etc.
There's a saying, that if we don't practice something which we know for a long time, we tend to forget it. Just imagine what if that same thing happens to our writing? It has a strange sound to it but could become a reality. Let's try not writing for a really long time, and then pick a pen and paper to write something long - you shall realise the difference.
So let's keep the habit of writing intact. Journal entries could be the best thing to do it. It helps you lighten off your day onto a paper, and also keeps the human touch intact. The paper becomes your best friend, and you just scribble it all onto it. It could be anything for that matter - a journal, hand-written birthday notes, post-it notes, hand-written to-do list - all of this help.
So let's try this - a better use of pen and the paper. Because, it's essential to write - for keeping the human in us intact.
