This is fascinating on the complexity of brain processing when we write rather than typing.
In perplexity & when a new idea hovers on the brink of clarity, I reach for a pencil & paper. Always.
I know it helps me to think.
Typing only lets me record.
Nowhere near the same.

“When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders.

“At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison:
“No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”

Sustainable schools are built on routines that:
• work on the hardest days
• survive staff absence
• protect decision-making under pressure
That is where real improvement lives.
@LeeWoods0722 Yet how many are attentive to these important things? Being attentive to embedding disciplines such as these takes courage, time and a developed self awareness. Sometimes we do need to look outward to other professions/professionals for insight.
