With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still like to do handwriting, there’s many app does that and they can even convert it to text notes.
So, if you still write notes with pen and paper, why?
@hsl I write on the keyboard, on my phone, and on paper with a fountain pen, every day. There’s something about a hand-written note that is different from thumb-typing, or keyboarding.
While I form the words in physical print on paper, I am paying much closer attention to what I’m writing; I’m reviewing as I am recording. I also find that writing things out by hand allows me to be concise, to summarize, and to change what I think as I write it, in a way that digital notes don’t satisfy.
