A couple months ago I wrote about how holding a pen will make you think more when you read. Lately I’ve been holding a pen while walking in hopes of the pen inspiring me to think. But instead the pen becomes a twiddling item that I flip around in my fingers. It doesn’t help me to think more, instead it becomes a mere toy. The pen takes on the persona of whatever you are doing at the moment. It will further emphasize the activity you are currently doing
—Reading: Pen will make you think more
—Walking: Pen will do a dance and become a twirling baton
—Talking: Pen will make you emphasize your words more by becoming a pointer
—Meetings: Pen will either help you pay more attention by taking notes, or it will distract you by becoming a doodle device.
—Standing: Pen becomes drumstick, tapping out the moments that pass by; emphasizing how you have to wait.
What other activities does a pen emphasize what you are doing?
