5 reasons why paper is better electronic diary

In late March of this year (the height of the studies and work activities) I broke my dominant hand and left without the ability to write. Naturally, the diary had to be postponed. A lot of cases it is not canceled, and to cope with them without the airframe and trackers has become more difficult. We came to the aid applications for the organization of life and note taking. The whole of April and I enjoyed them as soon as the plaster was removed, hurried back to pen and notebook. And the reasons for which the paper won an electronic diary.

1. He is not discharged and does not hang

Banal, but a very important quality. If you have a busy schedule, you spend a lot of time on the internet or call frequently, you're probably familiar with the situation when the smartphone is discharged at the wrong time. Especially often it happens in winter, when the battery can not stand sudden changes of temperature between the outdoor and indoor. In this case, the to-do list, addresses and telephone numbers are much safer to store on paper, since it has no battery.

2. It combines all important

I was looking for and, unfortunately, did not find an app that would combine the calendar, notepad for notes and task lists and tracker habits. For all this, there are some applications and switch between them is inconvenient and simply laziness.

Paper notebooks also allow to conduct all the necessary records in a notebook: the manufacturers make special turns with razlinovkoy under tables, calendars and more. When finished with the diaries razlinovkoy you do not like, there is a system Bullet JournalWhich will help to make your perfect glider.

3. It develops creative thinking

You buy a notebook, and in front of you there are ample opportunities for its registration. In the applications, you can not change the design elements that you do not like (and if it can, it will likely only charge). On paper, you can change the planning system at least every week, draw, theme reversals, paste and save important photos.

Many fans of paper diaries also say that their creative design relaxes and helps to better understand the record. Yes, and always pleasant to revise and re beautifully designed text.

4. He is good for health and memory

Psychologist Virginia Berninger from the University of Washington, for example, saysMovement Issues Identified in Movement ABC2 Checklist Parent Ratings for Students with Persisting Dysgraphia, Dyslexia, and OWL LD and Typical Literacy LearnersThat the letter freehand you better remember what you write, because you need to draw each letter and figure element by element. Thus practicing fine motor skills, memory, develops logical thinking and speech.

Neuroscientist Judy Willis, in his article explainsThe Brain-Based Benefits of Writing for Math and Science Learning"Practice letters can enhance the brain's ability to consume, process, store and retrieve information. It helps improve concentration, improves long-term memory, gives the brain time to think. "

5. He is much cheaper

In fact, all you need to conduct a paper glider - pen and notebook. Of course, you can buy stickers, markers and other stationery, but this is optional. Notepad enough for at least six months, and only have to buy a pen or rods. In the case of many applications required functions are only available on a monthly subscription. This can be a problem for students.

Of course, everyone chooses the most suitable option for themselves, and the opportunity to combine classic and technology very much. These are the advantages of paper gliders, which were decisive for me. What is important when choosing a diary for you?
