    If you haven't touched a pen for a while - do it. Doodle something, write notes - do not let the skill of holding a pen get away from you. By not using a pen, you can cause regression of this skill and might end up being surprised how hard picking it back up can be!

    (Inspired by people who apparently couldn't remember when they last held a pen, whined that it hurt their hands, and said it was difficult to write a SINGLE PARAGRAPH OF TEXT. Don't be like them.)

      Also - using a pen on paper HELPS YOU REMEMBER BETTER than typing it into your phone. If you don't write physical notes and wonder why you used to remember shit and don't anymore - it could be caused by skill regression and not doing something REAL with your hands.

      We didn't used to be glued to smartphones.
      People need physical things to build memory paths. This shit I am doing now - it's not as real as writing things down on a paper.

        Also by the way - it is WORRYING that people who claim not to have memory issues clearly have memory issues (from covid, or over use of phones, or denial of age, or skill regression, or all above etc.) But wont make physical notes.

        I, from a small age, have needed to make notes to remember a single thing - it is terrifying that people without memory issues REMEMBER LESS THAN ME just because they won't keep up the skills they need!

        So do good for your brain, make paper notes.

          As always - don't use Generative "AI", that will rot your brain faster than leaving a tomato to rot in the sun next to a dung heap.

          Do not trust your skills to computers.
          Use your hands. Be a human.
          Buy a notebook and use it.

          Don't wake up one day wondering why holding a pen hurts and writing a paragraph is pain. USE YOUR BIG BEAUTIFUL PLUMP BRAIN!
