Hi Dave. Thanks for the post. I find it so helpful to not only read about how other people write but to actually see it. The photos of the hand-written notes you added to the post are so much more concrete than reading a textual description. For most of my academic career I've been a 'digital only' writer but over the last few years I've found that taking notes by hand adds a different dimension to the process. The enforced 'slowness' of using pen and paper gives me room to breathe, and I feel less frenetic as a result.
Do you have a preference for a type of pen, paper and notebook, or does anything go?
