Writing a poem out by hand

because you don’t have a printer, but want to be able to read bits of a poem daily. Just write it out, kind of cathartic and connecting!!

writing by hand

Meeting notes, letters, journal entries, lists, mind mapping, whatever, it gives you a reason to use cool pens/markers, notebooks/paper. You can also practice your handwriting like when you were a kid (btw did anyone else’s school ascribe social status to the way you wrote a lowercase “a”?). This includes cursive which is a dying art! Something something scientific studies about how writing by hand helps with processing information and emotions… but mostly, it’s just an awesome sensory experience. It makes your notes, ideas, etc. really feel like YOUR OWN.

handwriting your notes

a lost art. when i was i school this was the only way i could retain anything. even when i write personal essays and stuff now, i feel like i understand the subject matter better when i take time to hand write key points and notes. also i just love the chicness of a notebook and pen.

Going to the movies alone

I’ve never had a bad time

Write it all down

Not every idea is a good idea. But maybe a small part of it is, or maybe it can grow into one, or maybe it will lead to the next good idea, or maybe you just need to get all those lousy ideas out of the way so the good ones have room to breathe. Or maybe it just feels good to write and this fixation on good vs bad ideas is the thing that’s in the way.

Going to a movie you know absolutely nothing about

Some of my favorite movie-going experiences weren’t ones I was looking forward to for months but ones where a friend had an extra ticket or someone said “you would like this” and I went in totally blind. Specifically, last night I saw “Ash Is Purest White” followed by a q&a with director Jia Zhangke. A great film with an absolutely knock out lead performance by Zhao Tao. I didn’t know any of these names before last night. Take a chance!
