This is so true. I can’t find the link right now, but when I was researching instructional design for a curricula project, I found an article or chapter describing that taking notes by hand is a sign of kinetic learning style, which I had never considered. I would’ve guessed verbal (the 3rd being aural). Even more interesting, a reference comparing taking notes by hand to taking notes on a laptop showed taking notes by hand resulted in way higher info retention by the note-takers. Kind of like muscle-memory meets language. Different than keeping a journal, but interesting.
