How is everyone’s cursive?
Damn, is that why my handwriting is so bad?
I’ve actually been thinking about taking notes while reading, especially with theory.
I’ve been doing that for the Capital reading group! Just in my phone though, lol.
I have started mini journaling in my phone though, which has helped!
I’ve pretty much gotten to the point where if I’m not taking notes while reading theory, I don’t really bother. It’s just not gonna stick in my head otherwise. I’ve been trying the Zettelkasten note system while reading, and am using it with Capital too. I write my initial notes by hand on a little index card while reading. Sometimes I’ll type them - but I’ve heard elsewhere too that handwriting helps with retention. But I don’t stick to one method over the other. Linking the notes I make within the system is what I find important.
I 'm still experimenting with note taking strategies, so we’ll see if this sticks!
I read your comments, seems to be working well! Thanks for leaving them for me to take advantage of, haha!
Hopefully I can keep it up! The flip side of notetaking is that there’s more inertia in reading a book. So I read less now, but get more out of a given book
Still worth it if you keep to the schedule!
In Latin: decent
In Cyrillic: okay
In Arabic: legible
In Hebrew: noAbysmal dogshit, which is funny because i took physical notes all through college
this would be interesting if I trusted Hossenfelder to accurately interpret and report literally anything
I’m terrible at cursive, but I do like handwriting notes and journals. I’ll even write whole essays that never see another set of eyes just to work through an idea.
Also back-to-school notebook prices have jumped from 25¢ to a whopping 40¢ per notebook. Who knew my collection of unused notebooks would inflate in value!
My cursive is terrible, but I do keep physical notebooks for fleshing out game ideas I have. Just about to restart the notebook for the project I’m currently building, so knowing about this study will make me feel good while I do it.
cursive sucks I use the same handstyle I use for scrawling on walls. Flamboyantly legible if a little slower to write.
This is not a problem when your language must be written in cursive. With English, you need to learn to write in cursive, but in Arabic it’s called learning how to write
cursive was just called handwriting here in hungary, so this isnt even a latin alphabet specific thing. i dunno, it’s probably an anglo thing?
Medic!
I’ve been hit! Cracker down.
I repeat: cracker down.
