The days of taking dictation may have long gone, and with them the need for the shorthand system of strange-looking symbols, but the need to write fast in a variety of situations remains. You are likely to remember more if you hand-write notes, rather than type them so whether it’s minuting a meeting, taking a telephone message, or writing lecture notes, the ability to write quickly in a form that can easily be read back is invaluable.
Modern day speedwriting uses only the letters of the alphabet; it is intuitive, flexible and easy to learn. With the techniques covered in bite-size sessions and incorporated into daily life, it becomes second nature when writing under pressure. The process of learning part of the technique and then embedding it through use means you build speed from the start and learn faster as you continue.
