Almost all of us have long since become accustomed to writing by hand, as a pen and paper was replaced by computer monitors and keyboards. Written we use accessories only if necessary – let’s say when you need to put a signature on a document. And meanwhile, Psychologists assure that “manual” writing has a lot of useful properties. Let’s talk about them. So it’s easier for us to formulate our thoughts Many famous writers admit that they prefer first write down your works on paper, and then already transfer text to a computer yourself, using a typesetter or personal Secretary. They do this not at all because they do not know how to use a computer. The fact is, the speed with which we write, roughly corresponds to the speed with which we think. A we type on the keyboard, we are often much faster than the speed of thought. If we write by hand, then it is easier for us to ponder what is written. By writing something by hand, we absorb information more firmly The process of writing on paper stimulates the so-called reticular brain activating system (RAS), which filters out incoming information. Therefore, notes or any information which you will need to remember, it’s better to write by hand, rather than type on the computer. When a computer letter activates this brain zones do not occur – this is a sufficient process auto. Therefore, to remember what we need, we have to climb into your notes. Many just save to the computer individual messages, texts and links, and then can’t figure it out, exactly where to look for the right one. When typing on a computer, we more often distracted Who is not familiar with the situation: we write a letter or we are working on a computer, and suddenly a message arrives at ICQ or social networks? Most of us will certainly rush to read. message and reply to it. When will we return to the letter or work, we find that many important thoughts have evaporated somewhere. Of course, you can turn off “distractions” during such activities. applications. But few do it. As a result, letters come out scanty, full of mistakes and they have little information on the case. And articles, reports, term papers, dissertations suffer from flaws, as your thought was interrupted at the most inopportune moment. If we write by hand, then maybe a telephone call (and they’ll ring on the phone much less than communicating through computer communications) or if someone contacts us (but if we are in this moment alone, no one will bother us). Not worth, of course, completely abandon the habit of writing on a computer, however An important letter is best written first by hand. If we are talking about responsible task, then sketch on paper at least the basic thoughts, and then expound everything in detail according to this scheme. Take as a rule, make a short draft on paper, and whitewash cook on the computer. Writing on paper is good for hands. If we didn’t have to pick up paper and pen for a long time, then, trying to write something by hand, we find that almost forgot how to do it: it seems we forgot how some are written letters, and when we nevertheless deduce them, they turn out clumsy and not very readable. No wonder the Japanese attached such importance calligraphy: the art of writing in beautiful handwriting was specially taught … After all, when we write by hand, we develop fine motor skills of the hands, we train wrists. If we just point fingers at the keys, and put your wrists on a special stand, then motor reflexes gradually atrophy. This is why attempts to write on paper after long breaks turn out to be so awkward. To save motor skills, try writing on paper every day at least one phrase. It can be a diary note, or just an interesting thought, or information that you want to remember, or a phrase you like … Keep a paper notebook on hand. it help you optimize your thinking process, keep in mind necessary information and to keep in tone the “working” upper limb.
