Conquer Patience Thanks To Writing By Hand
Yeah, takes time, but that could be exactly what you need
I’ve already discussed the importance of writing by hand when it comes to learning languages. Indeed, the time it takes gives time to the brain to form memories which will last longer.
However, that isn’t the only advantage there is to it. Another often overlooked one is developing patience.
No matter how fast you can write, it’s pretty much always going to be slower than typing on a computer or phone.
Do we have the time to spend on such a task then?
No, we don’t.
But that’s exactly the point.
We’re always in a rush to do things and writing something is no exception. We want to get to the next thing quickly after all.
Our agendas are cramped with tasks, both useful and somehow pointless ones.
“I have to check Instagram after this.”
“I need to watch that next episode today.”
“I know it’s late but I have to reply to that person today.”
What’s the common factor of all those? The need.
