My posts in A to Z challenge this April will be on questions!

Are you a NOTE-TAKER?
Jotting down ideas for writing
Or making a list of chores to do
Perhaps compiling a shopping list
Sitting in a lecture hall noting down
Practicing the art of writing with paper and pen
The world today is changing, ever-evolving
And we are forgetting the skill of printing words on paper
We are taking notes alright, but they are on devices
Written or spoken so that we’ll remember later
The brilliant idea that we wanted to immortalize
Just for old time’s sake, do write down something every day
With a pencil or a pen to keep up the skill of note-taking!

I agree.
we’ve lost much to technology with the least bit of satisfaction.
Personally, I enjoy the pen and paper method
lovely reminders, Sadje G🤍

I write down everything on paper, in notebooks, and sticky notes. I never could get used to making notes on my phone. 🙂

I think this is really a good habit. And you also save what you write?

Some I keep, other little notes are just jots to remind me of whatever. I do keep a couple of notebooks of what all medicines I take and when every day, too.

I completely agree with you Sadje we have lost touch with writing. Technology has taken over all of us. One day Artificial Intelligence will also take over. Nice poem.

Thanks Nichole. With the overload on our brain by all that we have to do, nothing down is always a good idea

I do most of my planning and writing on a computer these days but nothing beats a good pen and paper to do checklist. So satisfying. 🙂

you describe me perfectly – all those lists and notes. I had notes in so many places, its taken me a while to figure out how to pull them all together. But at the other end, I despair at trying to get students to write anything, to take notes. I had a class today who have a 2 hour exam next week – they are allowed to take in notes, so I suggested they use today’s class to prepare – to write notes – they were done in 25-30 minutes. 😵💫 I’m not looking forward to the marking after next week lol

Oh no! I can see in my mind how this may go. Kids nowadays think they know everything.

Sticky notes are my favorite. I love them. Also, using pen and paper helps me to keep my spelling in order and keep my penmanship intact as well.

I really should have some paper and pen (or something) near by – but I don’t carry a large purse or pocket book anymore. I think I have a note pad in my car… The other day or middle of the night I did have an idea for my ‘guest’ post… but I didn’t get up to write it down. Though the post turned out just fine.
I used to write with a fountain pen (to pen pals), I even have a glass ink pen. I still do write out some addresses. I think cursive is a lost art. Though I am surprise my one grand said they were actually still teaching that form in school.
I make some lists, usually just for groceries. But not really for much else. I don’t use an electronic calendar on my PC or my Phone. We do have a paper one on the fridge that does keep some of our appointments straight though 😉
Fun read.

My grandson learned cursive in school in Seattle. They still do write with a pen/pencil in school. I, on the other hand make just list and menus for a family meal. Need to do more writing on paper

Sticky note pads and lists are my friends! I am always writing something down to not forget it. I even keep a notebook for important phone call notes – who I called, who I spoke to, what day and time and then whatever information I got. Good topic for N.
