Hey,
I’m annoyed that when I am in certain super cluttered mental states, that I can’t read my handwriting after.
My handwriting generally isn’t great, but I used to do shorthand for journalism, so I know how to write readable. But it requires some strain, especially in these states, where the focus is lost on what I actually want to write. So either I write clearly then, but won’t be able to free-flow, because I strain on the writing, or it’s unreadable after.
Usually I’m just scrambling to find a paper and pen, since getting to my offline laptops and booting them up is too much. But I’ll also be getting a mini-laptop now for this purpose.
Still, though, I feel like there should be something that can be done.
Thanks for your help :)
E: I’m talking about a situation of being myself with stuff that needs to be let out, not doing professional work or similar.
I have no idea what this is called, since I’m still new to Apple, but iPad has a handwriting correction feature in its Notes app. I recently had surgery on my dominant arm, so that feature really came in handy for taking notes at uni. I write in cursive with some mixed symbols and it’s able to handle that.
Maybe when going for a mini laptop you can try finding a tablet that also allows for a Bluetooth keyboard, this way you get practice writing by hand but can swap to keyboard after some time.
Alternatively, you could try the Pomodoro method while writing. I find it helps when my adhd is too stronk
