I often get asked how I keep track of the ideas that come through my head on a daily basis, or how i know where to begin. The answer is rather simple…I do it on paper.
I like to ask people when was the last time they sent a handwritten letter to a friend or loved-one? How about the last time we sat down to journal, sketch, or throw ideas onto pages for later use. For many of us these acts have become a digital experience “made easier” by doing so on computers, tablets, and smartphones.
What if there was a notebook which functioned like the notebook we all know and love, but was enhanced with a technological feature to make it easier to use, organize, and digitize. That technology is known as SCRIBZEE® and its goal: To make your notes more organized, collaborative, and to bridge the gap between new and “old.” At Hamelin, the company which directed this project, the vision is to empower note-takers.
There are many studies which prove that handwriting not only increases our chance of memorization, but increases overall brain functionality. In some studies using magnetic resonance imaging has indeed shown that what we often see as low-tech writing by hand increases neural activity in certain sections of the brain, much like meditation. So this is just one example to show that handwriting sharpens the brain and helps us learn. Hamelin Notebooks in tandem with SCRIBZEE® technology are a perfect example of my design philosophy.
