The Benefits of the Humble Desk Calendar

Don’t Ditch Your Desk Calendar

There are lots of ways that tech makes it easy to create and track a schedule. You can do it on your phone or on your computer. You can share a calendar with family and friends via the cloud. In fact, you can skip the paper calendar entirely. But should you? Probably not, say the experts.

That’s because although they share the same letters and numbers, writing by hand and taking notes on a computer isn’t the same thing. They don’t exercise the same muscles and make the same connections in the mind. In fact, when you write by hand, you put big sections of your brain to use and you also remember things too.

And there’s another benefit, too. Working on tech all the time can wear out your brain and your eyes. What else do you need to know about the benefits of mind and writing? This graphic helps to explain it.
