Step 21: Write Notes by Hand

Forget MS Word for a while and do it the traditional way. Writing information
with your bare hand is more effective in learning than having the information
typed. There happens a three-way recording in your head.

First, you read what you write more intently because the level of concentration
when writing is higher compared to when typing. You can type 75 words per
minute, but it is almost impossible to achieve the same when writing.

Second, your brain records what you write through the signals your muscles
send. It is one thing to see the words written down, and it is another to remember
what you have just written down by remembering how you have written them.

Third, your brain records past actions. You remember what you did and what
you did it for. This becomes the link you need to recall the details associated
herein.
