Even the busiest person can find a way to write just one page a day. One page. About four hundred words. One page a day yields a complete, 365-page novel in one year.2. How Twitter made handwriting cool
For Kirby, a self-confessed hard-core notebook user, they are the chance to capture something in a different way. Rather than diminishing the importance of the notebook, he says, digital has enhanced it.‘In the digital age there is so much information, but using notebooks is a very different process to writing on a screen – you go back over notes, cross things out, amend and review. You remember it,’ Kirby says. Indeed, there are endless scientific studies proving that taking the time to form a letter - instead of just hitting a key – – promotes neural activity, creativity, memory and fine motor skills.3.

Sketchbooks are not about being a good artist, they’re about being a good thinker.5. A Paper Calendar? It's 2011
Mr. George uses a datebook that fits in his back pocket. “People make comments about it,” he said. “They show me their little technology. But then they sit there tapping on their device, and by the time they’ve gone through all the log-ins and downloading, I’ve already flipped the page.”I can attest to this fact: I was sitting down with my pastor to schedule who would celebrate daily Masses for the rest of the summer. He had a full-size planner, I had an iPhone. That experience was all it took for me to get a paper planner after using only Google Calendar and my phone (or iPod before that) for over a year. It just takes to long to add things electronically; and, with my paper planner, I can see a whole week - how it's filling up, where there may be conflicts, etc.
