When we write by hand we are also thinking about how the word is written, where it has accents, how we should write it, what we want to say, what it means and where our hand moves when doing it.

When you feel very stressed, nervous, anxious or unclear, write by hand. By doing so, you focus on something external that takes focus away from what has you in that state or it will also serve as catharsis by "removing" from you the thoughts that do not leave you alone and helps you focus on something else.

Write by hand. Activate your executive functions such as planning, flexibility. Risk making mistakes. It will help you shape work projects and keep an idea running in mind and in your work.

Express yourself and create with your own hands!
