There’s often a skill that seem interesting, but I can’t see doing anything for me in my day-to-day life. What have you learned that was a lot more effort than the payoff was worth?

      How much cursive you using these days? It’s pretty much useless outside of reading old letters.

        Taking notes in interviews (job related). Allows me to scribble something down while maintaining eye contact and seeing the persons face. Does it well because i dont need to wonder how much space is in between characters like i do when hand printing.

        I have excellent handwriting and it has been a valuable asset at almost every job I’ve ever had. So many times people have come to me and asked me to hand write a note to a client.

        Also, love letters. Physical love letters written in cursive go fucking hard in the 2020’s.

        Every day, it is how I write. It is not useless if you want to write with a minimal degree of fluency.

        Don’t you write at all?
