I was talking to a client a while ago who was doing an exercise which required her to write down her goals.

She asked me if there was any difference between writing them down on a piece of paper, or typing them.

I must admit I’d never considered it before. As a rule I tend to do a mixture of both (I’m old fashioned and love the act of writing!)

So, I did a bit of research and was amazed by an article I found looking into the neuroscience of writing.

Here’s a short extract from it which discusses why writing is so much more powerful than typing:

“The truth is, your subconscious mind works better when you are constantly building new neural pathways in your brain and then reinforcing those pathways through neuroplasticity.

How do you do that?

Every time you do something that makes your brain work it builds those neural pathways, then every time you repeat those same actions, it reinforces those pathways.“
