باسم الله، والحمد لله، والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله، أما بعد:
BENEFIT 1: TAKE NOTES PHYSICALLY USING PEN AND PAPER - NOT ON YOUR SMARTPHONE
because:
1- when the Sheikh/teacher/speaker sees you with a pen and paper to hand, he will become motivated and feel at ease knowing that you are taking interest - even if you don't take any notes, whereas if he sees you typing away on your phone he will most likely assume that you are chatting to your friends and taking no interest in what he has to say, although you may have been busy transcribing the whole lecture.
2- writing by hand helps you process information better, remember more, and think faster compared to typing.
3- pen and paper is less distracting. You won't get any messages pinging, to say the least.
4- Paper and pen don't require any charging and are always ready to use. But make sure to carry a spare pen incase you run out of ink.
5- information recorded on paper is less likely to get deleted!!!!
6- paper is virus and malware free
7- Research shows that phone overuse can lead to sleep issues, anxiety and decreased productivity, so becoming accustomed to using pen and paper is a useful solution to help cure smartphone addiction إن شاء الله.
8- paper is healthier for your eyes compared to glaring at a phone screen
9- learn from my mistake; I began typing up some benefits on my phone with the intention of sharing on this channel. Everything was going well until my phone was taken to the 'muhandis'...long story short, I lost all my notes قدر الله وما شاء فعل...hence the delay. But now that I've had some time to gather my thoughts, I've decided to start all over again, albeit with a notebook and pen.
