No question about real books being more satisfying. But with the number of books I buy and read I literally don't have space for them.

The Quiet Power of E-Ink Books are a treasure. They have always been a passion of mine. I was that weird kid who would disappear and be far too quiet for too long. But, instead of my parents fearing what trouble I was gettin...

I adore books. Always have. But physical books aren't always the most practical way to read, especially if the goal is to read more, doomscroll less.

Enter e-ink. Here are some thoughts on this tech. #booksky πŸ“šπŸ’™

Why Handwriting Beats Typing (and Science Proves it!)
Why Handwriting Beats Typing (and Science Proves it!) Handwriting isn’t old-fashionedβ€”it’s powerful. In a world of laptops and apps, I rediscovered pen and paperβ€”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 habitsβ€”and why you might want to give it a try. πŸ‘‰ Subscribe for more experiments in habits, creativity, and self-improvement. #Handwriting #Journaling #SelfImprovement #Productivity #Creativity

✍️ Handwriting > Typing.

It boosts memory, focus, and creativity in ways a keyboard can't. Slower, yesβ€”but that's the point.

I'd stick with what you're doing then. At the time, I was looking for something to change my workouts, so it was welcome guidance.
