writing

Writing is a facilitator for thinking and learning. Not simply using transcription as a prompt for improved recall. It isn’t a record of what is learned, it is the act of learning.

Writing ideas in our own words and expanding on them - connecting them with our existing knowledge, thoughts and additional contexts is the best known mechanism for expanding our understanding.

Writing is, without dispute, the best facilitator for thinking, reading, learning, understanding and generating ideas we have. ahrenshowtakesmart2022
