Shorthand Writing
Write at the speed of speech. Look like a Victorian spy doing it.
Shorthand is a system of rapid writing using simplified symbols instead of letters. Journalists, court reporters, and secretaries used it for centuries to write as fast as people speak. Learning it feels like acquiring a superpower and a secret code simultaneously. Your notes become unreadable to anyone else, which is either a feature or a bug.

Samuel Pepys wrote his famous diary (1660-1669) in a shorthand cipher. It took scholars decades to decode it after his death, revealing scandals, the Great Fire of London, and his honest opinions about everyone.
