The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Good morning gentlemen,

Most of you know that at the beginning of the year I started my de digitizing process and going more towards the basics and analytics of life.

One of my biggest and most pleasurable experiences has been when I started going back to writing with pens and notebooks. The purchase of a nice notebook, journal, and a fountain pen has totally changed everything.

A survey of professionals have shown that 70 percent associated handwritten notes with higher confidence and trustworthiness. Writing by hand slows you down; it signals that you are engaged not rushing through the interaction.

People who carry a proper pen seem to interrupt less, they listen, jot, and process, this signals habit and reshapes how others experience you.

A good pen does not need to be expensive; just feel right in your hand, and consistent in your daily routine.

Gentlemen, carrying a pen is not rejecting technology, it is about showing you can step outside of it when it matters.
