I sometimes use physical notebooks when I get stuck! It works really well!

I could be wrong, but I believe I read somewhere that there's a reason for this! the act of writing something out on a physical piece of paper uses different neural pathways than typing, so it tricks your brain into thinking in a different mindspace than typing the words does. It works almost like a change of scenery and allows for better creativity, like an artist moving from a closed room to an open field to paint or something like that.

-I could be completely wrong but I swear I read it somewhere once upon a time-

Multi-quoting happening (sorry in advance), but as someone who works in education, you are on the right track. There are multiple studies about the benefits of writing with a pen or pencil and paper versus typing. It's why teaching kids early on how to write with a pencil is so important. It's beneficial for the brain and a fine motor skill that needs to be practiced (plus it helps those lil hands gain strength holding something and using it). :nod:

how do I make a wanted ad where it'll be honest with my boundaries but open enough for possibilities.

by this I mean some things I feel like I should say cause it's important to me, but also I feel like I'm going to sound pedantic.
