Fra kart og kompass til notatbøker og fyllepenner – hvorfor håndskrift fortsatt er viktig

In a digital age where mobile phones and tablets often replace pen and paper, it's easy to forget how valuable handwriting actually is. For students, professionals and, not least, athletes involved in orienteering, being able to take notes quickly and clearly plays an important role.

Studies show that the brain processes information in a completely different way when we write by hand, compared to typing on a screen. Handwriting contributes to better concentration, memory, and creativity. For many, this is why bullet journaling and traditional notebooks have had a renaissance in recent years.

Bullet Journal and dotted notebooks

A trend that has really taken off internationally, and also in Norway, is Bullet Journaling. With a "dotted notebook" (notebook with dotted pages), you can easily create your own system for planning, logging and setting goals. For orienteering athletes, this can be a perfect tool for keeping a training diary, analyzing races and setting new goals.

Fountain pens and ink

At the same time, the use of fountain pens has received a boost. Many people find that writing with a good fountain pen gives a completely different writing pleasure than regular pens. The combination of notebook and fountain pen makes writing both more personal and inspiring.
