3 benefits of Journaling: banging sentences, deep learning & a boost to creative work

3 benefits you will experience by using Purple Reset Journals & Notebooks

We are not stupid, we know that spending in excess of 7 hours in front of a screen is bad — but we still do it. No shade, these days it’s what we do.

Between responding to clients, checking a project hasn’t nose-dived into a black creator while you were furiously replying to emails that have been stacking up at the speed of light, and calming down co-workers before they and I quote “lose their shit”. To the website updates that you have been diligently making, and the landing page that you are building as you learn.

Come Gin o’clock you can not stomach making your watery, stinging, itchy eyes continue looking at the glowy thing on your desk.

So you are stuck between a rock and a hard place. You want to be kind to your eyes but you still have the zest to write, read, and take notes. You are inspired, you have savvy content and snappy marketing to release into the world.

Enter Purple Reset Journals & Notebooks. They allow you to capture your words, in dedicated books, without reducing yourself to an eye-watering mess of running eyeliner and blurred vision.

If that’s not enough to coax you to drag yourself away from the enticing screen here are 3 psychological benefits — backed by bods in white coats — that will surely bring you around to diving headfirst into the analog practice of writing with a pen on parchment.

1. Invoke intense emotions by handwriting

Virginia Berninger (white coat wearer) notes that the physicality of writing out words involves using pathways within the brain that manage emotion that doesn’t happen when typing.

Meaning we involve emotion more when we handwrite. It can result in a therapeutic experience rather than a dissociative one via the keyboard. Handwriting = therapeutic experience.

Great books for this: Evo, Aurora, Indite, and Mythos

2. Supercharge your memory to power up your learning

Your brain is more active, and more “alight” when you carry out a task by hand. You are more receptive to “deep encoding” of new information — layman’s terms: you understand a topic deeply when you physically write as opposed to typing and thus you remember the information better.

White coats also suggest that writing increases cognitive learning. Boom we all want a piece of that pie, right?

Great notetaking books: Endeavour, Equitable, and Opus

3. Produce exceptional creative work

We all want to be more creative, Ya? You may say — “it’s quicker to type, writing takes too loooong” but is quicker better? Not necessarily. Even if we are not happy with what we wrote they are part of the process that leads us to that banging sentence.

We write a poor sentence, we cross out a word, and replace it. We may change the structure entirely. It all builds into a guide that we use to ultimately produce our best work. Then you can transfer the very best words, the most impactful sentences to the computer.

Some great books for this: Mythos, Lore, Essence, Indite, Lizzy and Opus

So come Gin o Clock do yourself a favour and step away from the glowy thing, grab a notebook, get comfortable, and let those words, ideas, and thoughts flow.
