Slant Ruled Notebooks for Comfortable Writing for Lefties and Righties Too! #NationalErgonomicsMonth

National Ergonomics Month is celebrated each year in October. It was created by the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society in 2003 to improve people's efficiency through wellness and productivity in the workplace. Now, more than ever there are computers and other products and accessories, geared towards helping people work more comfortably. Slant-ruled notebooks are one of those products used to assist in writing comfort for right-handed and left-handed individuals. Being a left-handed writer myself, I normally turn the pad of paper or notebook in a more convenient position for my wrist to begin writing. I also notice that some pens cause my words to smear as my hand moves along the page so having the lines in the correct position makes writing a lot easier. A slant-ruled notebook is convenient and a clever solution to writing discomfort. The solution is available for right-handed writing as well, but the writing lines are slanted in the opposite direction.

Below, you will find some slant-ruled notebooks designed by Selena Thinking Out Loud. They are all available now on Amazon. Purchase them for yourself, coworkers, friends, and family who would appreciate this ergonomic tool for writing. Each book comes with 120 pages of comfortable writing space. It's a perfect anytime gift throughout the year. Happy National Ergonomics Month and stay safe and well.
