I started an experimental handwritten journal today. I've struggled with poor memory, rapid thinking, and difficulty paying attention for as long as I can remember. I usually deal with this by taking notes and talking to myself, but I'm hoping a handwritten journal will force me to slow down and deal with thoughts. I'm even considering a pen that must be dipped in ink to slow the process more than a modern pen will. I'm also considering setting aside a quiet, candle lit space for the exercise if I can make it work.
This is an experiment that will likely change. Anyone else trying a similar concept?
