Fun fact! Doctors use something called shorthand to make writing multiple perscriptions and receipts more efficiently, nurses and pharmacists are trained to read it
Penmanship has less to do with laziness or competence and more to do with time pressure. I’m a doctor, would you rather me spend time perfecting my handwriting (which is actually neat) or look after my patients?
@Evelyn Rivera Garcia Definitely! For example ‘SH2 # P1 L) LF’ means ‘Salter Harris 2 fracture of the proximal phalanx of the left little finger’. So much more efficient! Makes sense to our hand therapists but complete gobbledygook to anyone else!
omg I rest my pen on my ring finger too D: A lot of people say my handwriting is neat, but the truth is that I adjust my handwriting based on the speed I need to be writing and it gets worse when I have to write very fast LOL My journal looks neat only because I make it neat haha
ME TOOOO...... only reason is because everyone in my house is write handed...and didnt know the left handed grip for a pen so i had figure it out by myself and here i am.... with the neatest handwriting in the house :))
I tried this during quaranteen, I chose a font that was similar to my og handwiting. I actually improved a little, changing the look of some of my letters and am overall happy with the result. Small steps is the key!!!!🖋🤏😻
Carmen You can. There are dozens of people copying certain fonts or handwritings and after a while they write exactly like that because they trained themselves to.
It’s certainly not impossible, especially if you are trained from an early age to write a specific kind of handwriting, but for a lot of us, especially of we just take our own handwriting and improve it with age (my case), the ‘design’ of letters we use changes with words or with our mood.
how am i just realizing now that resting my pencil or pen on my ring finger is not normal.................. i thought thats what EVERYONE DID IM SO CONFUSED
@@niaroberts2193 me too! i was literally like "ah yes i use my middle finger" but then i picked up a pencil and tried to write and i was like "waiT WAHT"
Same. I write with my pencil wresting that way and everybody I meet looks at me like I’m crazy. I also always thought that bump I have was from the amount of pressure I apply when I write.
You know those times when youre like “Im gonna improve my writing” and you do- for 5 mins then ur hand gets tired so you write like a 5 year old:3 yeahhH!
My teacher always told my class that good handwritings come through practice ✍🏻 A tip for beginners is to practice writing on the lined notebooks while noticing the capital line, middle line, and base line. Next, practice your neat handwriting as often as possible! When the muscle memory develops, you will write neat handwritings effortlessly ✨ Practice makes perfect. Hope this helps!
you know why?...cuz lettering is a bad calligraphy with fancy colors and cliches .... if you want a nice handwriting you must stay away from lettering.
can we just take a minute to appreciate how amazing, sweet, beautiful, smart and talented Amanda is?! i love her videos so much, she’s such an inspiration for my own channel 🥺💗
AMANDA, In one of your other videos, you said that it's never too late to start or end bullet journaling as long as it works for you. This motivated me to continue trying to bullet journal. You are so inspirational and I hope one day I can get as good as you. Thank you!!!
Fun thing: the traditional pen hold (tripod on middle finger) was developed for the dip and fountain pen. The 45 or so degree angle that you get is great for letting the ink flow out smoothly with the minimum of pressure needed. Modern ballpoint, gel, fineliner, etc, pens will work better in an upright grip as it will put the pen tip in best contact with the paper. But, due to history, we are all taught a grip that fights modern pens. So, use whatever grip works best for you unless you want to write with a fountain pen, then practice the traditional grip for best results.
The writing bump! I have that too! I've tried to consciously write "correctly" all the time but it's so uncomfortable. I even had those jelly pencil grips as a child to help it out. But it never worked long term
i hold my pen the exact same way as you and all of my elementary school teachers gave me those weird pencil grips to correct it but i never did and now i just have a giant area of calloused skin on my ring finger but i mean oh well
@@swarajyalakshmi5911 I'm an artist but I still struggle drawing these lines... and everytime I try to write neatly, my hand's getting tired too fast...
Honestly having neat handwriting i feel isn’t that hard?? Idk when i first wanted to improve my handwriting i pressed really hard on the paper trying to be really precise but i ended up with a sore hand and the same hand writing i started with -_-
Amanda: "I rest my pen on my ring finger and I've heard that resting the pen on your middle finger reduces cramps" Me: ●¤● Omg thanks for all the likes!!!!
I used to hold my pencils and pens the same way as you do and I had the "writing bump" on my ring finger. Somehow, I was able to change my hold on them
I think the way you hold your pen is the “proper” way to do it! When I went to school in japan they made us learn the proper way and get the triangle pencils so we would have to hold it the proper way!!! You’ve inspired me to ~perfect~ my handwriting now bc I can do cursive and calligraphy but mine natural hand writing is literally a mess LOL
yooooo that's how i hold my pen too! i've always felt like i had more control over it with a vulcan grip lol and i think now that my muscle memory is tuned to that grip i would have less control holding it "properly"; i think the more important thing in reducing hand cramps is to not death-grip the pen, but hold it loosely enough.
I rest my pen on the middle finger but when I have to write a LOT,my writing bump gets so red that it's basically hurting at that point so I switch to resting the pen on my ring finger for a moment until my middle finger recovers and I keep writing and writing:)
i've had a bump ever since I basically started school. My friends hold their pencils differently, and I tried to hold my pencil like them, but it was super uncomfortable. No teachers or anything told me my handwriting was weird though
Hey, Amanda. So happy that you are back. I was waiting for your video. Also,I thought that your handwriting is already neat and pretty. You don't need to improve it. And it is also perfect for bullet journalling!:)))
Amanda, I LOVE this video and struggle with all the same things you do with speed and switching up letter styles...I also just started using fountain pens! You have inspired me to jump back in and work on my penmanship! Thank you!
i also hold my pen that way. i thought almost everbody rests their pen on their ring fingers? I guess I've been doing it wrong my entire life, that explains the hand cramps and my writing bump
Amanda, I am impressed. I enjoyed this video and I'm really glad that you recorded part of it in real time. My handwriting changes all the time, I'll try to be more consistent.
yeah nice, finally there's one other person besides me who's holding her pen with the ring finger! 😂😍 I thought I am the only one who didn't check it at school how to hold your pen properly 🤦🏻♀️😂
Hey, we hold our pens the same way!!!! Everyone always tells me that it’s the wrong way, but I just automatically rest my pen on the fourth finger too 😂 :)
What a difference when you slow down … It as lovely I could tell a little bit you where getting kinda of tried…I would too . But you pull yourself up and press on . Loved it! Its amazing how different your writing looks compare too the way you usually write. I think we are al that way we try and start off nice note then note taking in college is hard especially when the professor is talking fast. I have never tried a fountain pen I am a bit afraid I would make a mess with the pen . But maybe I will try it out . Thank you for sharing ❤️
when i saw this on my home page I was like "wait what? Amanda needs to iMpRoVe her handwriting?" If she needs to improve my handwriting, what about mine? LOL
what you said about how a writing utensil can help you write neater is so true! I remember using only pencils for school because our teacher did not allow pens because "they bleed through the paper" or something like that (which is not true) and when our new teacher let us use pens, my handwriting changed dramatically from messy and big (and I also got a lot of hand cramps from the wooden pencils) to neat and small (no more hand cramps because of the grip on a gel pen 🙂). So if you're not happy with your handwriting, change your writing utensil! 🙂😉🖊
And they’re actually in the smaller price range when it comes to fountain pens 😅 But once you commit and get one, they become addictive to use, and eternally reusable with whatever ink you want makes it a more envirofriendly option
If you're looking to get in to fountain pens I would check out the Lamy Safari or the Kaweco Sport for cute and reliable pens that aren't gonna break the bank :)
I totally had to train myself to not rest the pencil on the ring finger, it took a while, but there was a huge difference once I made that change, not as tiring. So glad I did!
Due to weekly tests and exams, I have a pen bump, but due to practice since I started writing my pen posture, grip, speed and writing have always been good. So thank you teachers for making me write a LOT. Finally pays off!😁😁 BTW I live in India and our curriculum is mostly writing based and writing down tons of questions and answers. If anyone wanted to know. Before I hated writing but now with so much experience. Holding a pen feels so good and natural, it’s like the pen is a part of my body!😂😂😂 ( gosh that sounds sooo weird! Sorry! ) BTW Love you Amanda!❤️
I would rate my neatness of my handwriting at a 6 but now that I’ve watched your video I’m going to change my handwriting style to my own and make it more neat to were it at a 8 or 9
"I need to improve my handwriting" -says the person who can draw a straight line without a ruler. Edit: Me: **fluently squealing, fangirling and crying because AmandaRachLee liked my comment this is no small deal **more squealing****

Amandaaa lit I always use the ring finger also. But sometimes like rare times I use the middle finger. Oh and probably everyone or almost everyone does calligraphy handwriting etc... but I do calligraphy and all that also, and I already did before knowing you but your basics and beyond the basics made me sooooooo much better. LY and hope u see this.
how would you rate your handwriting neatness on a scale of 1-10??
7.5 but it’s been degrading over quarantine/summer break. I’m practicing again tho!
a solid 5..?

“My hand is tired of writing”
-Amanda 2020
Also Amanda: writes millions and millions of things in one bullet journal session!

When Amanda said she is impatient when it comes to writing I can relate. It is the reason for my almost cursive writing hahahahahaha
“I rest my pen on my ring finger”
Welp, thats my excuse for people judging me :D
sameee
Same but I can also use my middle finger
Same, thats the only way I can write.
Sameee
Not to brag
But I write excellent that way

I love how she trusts Wiki HOW XD the one time it actually pulled through...
3:30 OMG SAME!!!!! I always thought I was the only person who writes that way cause literally no one I know writes like that lol
This is so interesting to see that someone with nice handlettering doesn’t mean that person has nice handwriting.
same thought too!! hhehehehehhehe
I had the same thought 💭

I feel so much better knowing THE amandarachlee holds her pen the same way I do
I appreciate your honesty and simplicity . It encourages some of us who are having challenges with decent handwriting. Thanks.

Oh and probably everyone or almost everyone does calligraphy handwriting etc... but I do calligraphy and all that also, and I already did before knowing you but your basics and beyond the basics made me sooooooo much better. LY and hope u see this.
