Are you the type of person who writes grocery lists by hand? Perhaps on the back of a receipt, in a special notebook, or on an index card? Do you keep an ongoing one on the refrigerator door? Do you insist on its accuracy while others take their phones shopping? Your choice, whether handwritten or digital, can reveal a great deal about your personality.
Handwriting
Brain
Do you have notes in your car? At work? On your bedside table? This could mean you are organized. Everything needs to go in its place. Handwriting activates elaborate and widespread brain connectivity patterns than typing. A Japanese study found that individuals who wrote by hand on paper exhibited increased brain activity. The hand writers also recalled the information faster. Writing a grocery list by hand might give your memory a little workout.
Conscientiousness
Handwriters strive for high-profile outcomes and possess the ability to develop well-thought-out plans to achieve their goals.
Impulse
Handwriters tend to make more planned purchases and fewer impulse buys.
Cons Of Handwriting
There’s always the ‘I forgot my list at home.’ The list was smudged or illegible.
Electronic Lists
If you use a phone or tablet for your shopping list, you could be highly efficient and organized. Your phone is a list-maker: These lists can be updated instantly and accessed from almost any device, making them the most efficient, streamlined option.
Data Decisions
You’re not just shopping anymore; you’re strategically planning your nutrition.
Collorabation
With the internet at hand, you can confirm menu items or make additional stops on the fly.
Cons Of Electronic Lists
When using any electronic device, it is essential to consider the power supply. A list is useless if you cannot get to it.
Whatever kind of list you use, keep in mind that whatever does work for you is best for you. It will enhance your shopping experience.
