Unsure if this is in praise of writing or of typing, or if it is a neutral statement.
I much prefer paper note-taking, except for its inconvenience. I notice better retention when I use pen and paper. When I take notes on a computer, I'm taking dictation, rather than processing what I hear.
- y4mi 8y agoi notice better retention when i add content to an Anki[0] deck as cloze type question and actually repeat the content a few times. just writing it down was pretty much useless for me. but everyone has their own way of remembering, i'm sure just writing it down with a pen works for you.
