Hey there, Ever used a to-do list app that just doesn't get the job done?  Well it might not be your fault... It turns out, there's a powerful cognitive boost hiding in the simple act of putting pen to paper. Here are five reasons handwriting reigns supreme: When you write by hand, you're engaging MORE of your brain.  You're not just typing letters, you're forming them.  This extra effort helps cement information in your memory. Handwriting forces you to slow down and really process what you're writing.  This leads to better understanding and retention. Unlike your phone or computer, a paper journal won't ping you with notifications or tempt you to check social media… Allowing you to work through your thoughts in as much detail as your subconscious needs.  There's something satisfying about physically crossing off a completed task or filling a page with your thoughts.  It creates a stronger emotional tie to your goals, and increases the chance of you hitting them! Doodle in the margins, use different colors, create mind maps… Handwriting allows for a level of creative expression that typing just can't match, which lets your brain relax into peak efficiency (see emotional connection and deeper thinking points above!) But here's the catch - like any habit, consistent journaling takes practice. Our neurology-backed journals are designed to make handwriting a daily habit… Guiding you through 66 days (the scientifically proven time to form a habit) of consistent practice. One user shared...

The inside pages are a buttery smooth 100 GSM that are the perfect mix of thick enough to support fountain pens while still keeping the journal light and portable. What's the difference between the PDFs and journals? The PDF is exactly the same as the physical journal, it's just in digital format so you can fill it out on a laptop or tablet (some folks have success using their phones, but depending upon the journal, it can be a pretty big file). You can also print out different pages as you want them.
