Neither. I just forget things, like a cool person
Physically writing things helps encode it in my brain, but in all other ways digital records are superior.
Kinda want one of those smart pens.
Sadly, Apple is far and away the best for that. Plus notability allows for digital recording too. Helped me a ton through school.
I’m all digital. Don’t have to worry about where my notebook is, my tasks and calendar are available through my phone, tablet, computer. And I get reminded on time sensitive things. I can make templates for repeating tasks like my vacation checklist. I’m reminded on birthdays that are coming up so I have time for presents. I never feel like I’m forgetting anything. It’s perfect for how my brain works.
This has been my experience as well. I went through a few years of taking and enjoying paper notes, but at a certain point I realized that without the ability to search my notes, I’m not getting as much value as I could otherwise. That with the addition of digital being more conveniently always with me has led me there.
That being said, there are so many options with apps and systems for digital management that the simplicity of just grabbing a piece of paper and writing still sounds enticing sometimes, haha.
I’ve finally moved from using paper to using multiple files and services in different places to help me not get anything done.
Tasks are one of the few things i still do on paper, to me it’s like reading a book; ya just cant beat the feeling of paper; also you can’t just close the app; it will remain hanged on the wall, judging you from afar
