pedagogical constraints
Constrain yourself to slower methods of writing:
Just because they can type extremely fast, students with laptops end up writing down every word said by the lecturer. Those with physical notebooks have to first synthesize the information and decide what is worth writing down before actually recording anything. This makes them think and thinking increases their retention rates.
Constrain yourself to smaller notebooks:
The lesser the space a student has the more he will have to think and synthesize.
Constrain yourself to irreversible methods of writing:
Just because they can erase pencil marks, students with pencils can afford to be sloppy. Those with pens on the other hand have to be very careful. This makes them alert and being alert increases their retention rates.
