The BBC has a nice article about paper and pens. It doesn’t mention shorthand, but it talks about bullet journaling, note-taking, mapping goals, etc.
Why paper is the real ‘killer app’
The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.

Thanks for posting. If you have a bullet journal, you can write the entries in Gregg, :-).
Great article. I am retired, a Microsoft Certified Professional, teach iPad classes to seniors , and have gone back to my Franklin Covey Planner. Always on, never needs charging, does not beep, honk or toot. No stress and there is plenty of room to practice Gregg. Thanks, Carlos.
I agree. I mostly write Gregg. I only write longhand if someone else will read whatever I’m writing. Maybe I’m from a different era and have a different mindset, but to me nothing compares to holding a real writing instrument.
I use shorthand more than longhand now, too. And I love a fountain pen or even a dip pen!
Awesome!
I’ve moved back to using a fountain pen for hand writing. They are so much easier on the hands for extended writing sessions. I don’t know why I put up with using ballpoints all those years 🙂
Thanks for the idea Kyle. A while back I wrote about having trouble with Gregg handwriting. Later, I bought a different pen (gel) and couldn’t believe the difference it made. Maybe Ill try a fountain pen, too.
Nice article, thanks for posting. It got me digging a little deeper on bullet journaling. Thanks!
