Gregg SHORTHAND Speed Writing 🌎 Best for Journaling

@lusweimi 604 tripod is working great so far!

Shorthand is a powerful and often misunderstood skill that has been used for decades.
Many people associate it with doctors’ handwriting—and while that’s partly true, shorthand was most commonly used by professional stenographers, often women, who took fast, accurate dictation for their employers.
I learned shorthand in high school, and it directly led to my first job after graduation, working for a top producer at New York Life Insurance Company.
One of the greatest advantages of shorthand is speed—but also privacy. You can write quickly, and your notes, journals, thoughts, and dreams are readable only to you or another shorthand writer.
I’ve kept shorthand journals for years, and I can still go back and read about my life and experiences

In this series, I’m showing practical Gregg shorthand for real, everyday use.

Enjoy!


Gregg shorthand is a fast, flowing writing system developed to capture spoken language quickly and efficiently. It was widely used by secretaries, stenographers, and professionals for taking dictation, note-taking, and business correspondence.
Beyond speed, Gregg shorthand offers privacy—your notes, journals, thoughts, and ideas are readable only to you or another shorthand writer. In this video, I introduce what Gregg shorthand is, how it works, and why it’s still a valuable skill today.
