How long ago has it been since you wrote a note to someone using a pen and an actual piece of paper? Are you among the increasing number of people who are abandoning a now "old fashioned" form of communicating and adopting a digital only format?
No one can say precisely how much handwriting has declined, but a British survey of 2,000 people offered a perspective. According to the study, commissioned by Docmail Ltd., a printing and mailing company, one in three respondents had not written anything by hand in the previous six months. On average they had not put pen to paper in the previous 41 days. Source: https://in.news.yahoo.com/handwriting-dying-slow-death-103519345.html
Unfortunately with technology at our fingertips we can "write" so fast that authentic handwritten copy is disappearing everywhere but especially in the workplace.
I believe that penning anything, from a grocery list to something as extensive as a daily journal entry, is all about expressing our personality. Our penmanship is as unique as our individuality. Some of us love the way we script letters and some of us cringe at our own scribble. But with today's text and email heavy correspondence, the art of a handwritten anything is quickly become a relic and that is truly a shame.
Jotting something down forces you to focus on the task at hand. If you are composing a thoughtful sentiment, the very act of slowing down to handwrite something is almost meditative.
Handwritten cards/notes engage the senses. It innately places an emphasis on the emotions connected to the sentiment of both the writer and of the lucky receiver.
I am a strong believer of keeping the act of handwritten expressions alive. The Expressory was born of this belief and more and more through our clients we hear how there is a desire to reconnect and rebalance, to even out the tipping scales of our technology laden reality with rich and meaningful correspondence.
