I've read essays on why they should stop teaching it in school, which I find compelling but am not ready to go that far. Strangely enough, for the first few months after I started this blog I would write my posts in a [paper] notebook and then type them when I got in front of my computer....the good old days. @Matt Gierhart – Handwriting is not very productive, I agree.

I wrote this and want to follow this idea to increase my productivity of my contacts. Of course for those that don't email or anything handwriting is amazing. Really relaxing exercise I find. @John I think there is some romanticism and patients that is really nice about handwriting, but the truth is that it just isn’t as productive as email.

We used to do cursive with such ease, now it makes our hands cramp. Personally, it makes me feel like I'm 6 years-old again, learning to write on my Big Chief Tablet. That was a good year. @John – Handwriting is really difficult to get back in to. We used to do cursive with such ease, now it makes our hands cramp.

It's pretty refreshing to get a call from someone who is just checking in on you. When so much of our communication revolves around business and GTD, 'just saying hey' can be a welcome thing. Definitely see you tonight at 6! @trif3cta – I like the approach. It’s pretty refreshing to get a call from someone who is just checking in on you.

Handwritten letters are more fun, if more work. It’s an excellent idea and I may try and follow suit too. Handwritten letters are more fun, if more work.

I've rccently started trying to call one person a day, for no good reason other than to see how they're doing. Anyway, speaking of connections, I hope to see you at the SEM Meetup.
