In a digital world, we often think that pens, paper, and notebooks are being tossed aside for their more electronic counterparts. Why take notes with pen and paper when you can just type them into your tablet or laptop for review at a later time? This may also lead you to believe that opting for custom notebooks or custom journals is ultimately opting for a failed marketing strategy. In reality, the mighty pen and paper combo is as popular now as it has always been because, in this scholarly match-up, pen and paper have science on their side.
Studies have shown that students who take notes in longhand have a greater retention of conceptual information than students who take notes on their computer. As it turns out, even though taking notes electronically allows you to increase the number of notes taken, it also limits the processing of that information because students tend to just transcribe lectures verbatim. Students that take notes in longhand are able to process the information and reframe it in their own words, building on their ability to learn because both the spatial and verbal portions of their brain are working together to interpret the information.
Of course, this psychological explanation of why taking notes on paper is more beneficial than taking notes on an electronic counterpart goes beyond the school system. When we write things down, our brains are working on formulating and analyzing our thoughts in order to get them down on paper and we have the ability to quickly review past notes and ideas without having to search through our computer. This small adjustment in accessing previous notes allows us to build upon our thoughts and ideas, an especially useful ability when working towards a promotion or trying to come up with the next great big thing.
