all of this emphasis on writing down notes on note cards etc. is great unless your hands don't work right. Most of the notes I have in my writing notebook are illegible and are lost to me because the scribbles no longer trigger a memory of what I was writing.

So, how does one use these simple techniques when your hands are damaged and writing is impractical.

By the way, how I use computers is with speech recognition with all of its attendant problems.
