I recently started to write things down - physically with an actual pen in a paper notebook.

I don’t have to upload it to the cloud, in don’t have to deal with a shitty keyboard on a phone and if it’s found 200 years from now by some archaeologist they know at least it wasn’t written by AI.

I tried that but I always have trouble reading my own scrawls.

Have you tried practising? I write pretty legible when I don’t hurry too much, school really drilled that into me.

If you have some time on your hands you could look at some online sources and get your game on!

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

Meh. That sounds like effort.

If you ever do write with pen and paper, it takes little effort to focus on just one improvement. A first step could be to try to get a consistent height of letters. When I'm in a hurry my "o" and "i" become way smaller than, say, "e". Just a quick look when you're done writing and a reflection like "next time I'll try to make this letter as tall as that letter when I write". When all lower case letter are as tall, focus on something else, like ascender height or baseline. Maybe your "l" tilts more than your "t", then that's a good thing to fix. One small step at a time.

Only if it's acid-free paper.

"Hi archaeologist of the future. I don't use AI."

Hi archaeologist from the future! I existed! I was a breathing, living human once, not some fleeting bits and bytes in a computer.

Remember me.

Now that e-ink displays are becoming good i really hope digital notebooks take off, like smartphones without the smart and waaaaaaay longer battery life.

There are some examples that seem good already (boox and ReMarkable), sadly they're pretty expensive.

Ideally they should be the best of TI calculators, old commodore-style computers, and a piece of paper, all brought together in a light and cheap device that needs to be charged once per month at most.

I see your point and hope that you’re finding a good digital notebook soon! I always liked the e-ink displays, they are so energy efficient.

Like I said, I’m going the analog way for now, with paper, fountain pen and ink. It helps me to Gather my mind and feeling the pen gliding over the paper has almost something meditative.

For longer stuff nothing beats a PC with a good keyboard tho.
