When I decide to write about products it is usually after I have used said product after a few weeks in the field.

My decision to invest approximately $200 on a Bluetooth enabled pen with a built-in camera and a paper notebook with email icons on the top of each page was a result of my passion for writing by hand.

My profession involves performing interviews with CTO’s on their web, mobile and IOT product lines. Naturally, there are a number of details that are easier to capture by hand using the Cornell Method because humans tend to bounce around between thoughts upon articulating them verbally.

The Moleskine Smart Writing Set is great to have in your toolkit when performing user interviews or storyboarding with your team because those handwritten notes can be shared instantly over Slack with your colleagues.

If you like writing by hand, then give this one a try; you might like it and save yourself from developing carpal tunnel with those keyboards we all use.
