What does stenography do to you?
Post Body

Newly interested in this field. Strange question. Learning this language and instrument as a formal student seems like a very intense undertaking.

I am curious what, if any, influence you've discovered on your cognition or other unforeseen aspects of your life. Memory improvement? Obsession with creating mental briefs in day-to-day life? Reading comprehension? Improved/diminished dexterity in other activities? Things like that.

If steno were a drug, what would it's side-effects (good and bad) be?

I’m a student and when I’m practicing a lot I wake up and fall asleep thinking in steno. It can be harder to read a book because my brain starts thinking about it in steno and not the meaning of the words if I’m not focusing. I also feel like I forgot how to spell words in English and I’ll be texting and start typing a word how I think about it in steno instead of how it’s spelled in English. That being said, I think this will fade once I’m not a student and not obsessively practicing. When I take a break from it I don’t notice any of these things as much. Oh and yes I come up with briefs all the time and I just have a note in my phone where I put them until I’m in front of my machine.
