Highlighters That Help You Think — Not Just Mark Text
Highlighters aren’t just for students. They’re powerful thinking tools for business owners, creatives, and anyone trying to stay organized. Used correctly, they turn information into something your brain instantly understands.
Why Highlighting Works
1. Color makes information memorable.
Your brain is wired to recognize patterns, and color is one of the strongest patterns we have.
2. It forces active reading.
Highlighting makes you slow down and choose what matters.
3. It creates visual structure.
Colors guide your eyes and help ideas “group” naturally.
