Given how much time I spend producing text, I've spent shockingly little of it considering the tradeoffs of various modes to input it Dove into the rabbit hole while on a flight earlier this week and figured I'd share my notes! devonzuegel.com/post/compariso

Ooh: I've never considered this seriously either! Wonder how to measure it, but—is there a mindset difference for you? e.g. for handwriting: * slow input means it's a "calmer" vibe, yielding "slow thought"—sometimes good? * I often spontaneously interleave mental maps + diagrams
