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?
Somehow I notice how I think more ‘structured’ and focused about the things I write down by hand. Especially useful when I try to break down tasks into smaller bits or try to plan anything through step by step
Yes, usually when in meetings. It’s 99% a society/conventional thing, but looking and typing on your phone while talking to someone will often be perceived as rude. Taking notes in your paper notebook though usually will come off as being attentive and interested.
Haha no. I make all my notes in markdown, or if I have to write something Math fast like in university lectures, with xournal++.
If it has to be a proper document: LaTeX or real fancy Markdown.
I only sometimes do kanji writing practice (I’m learning japanese), and for that, I’m using paper. Xournal++ would work just as well through.
Yes, mostly university and work though. I don’t have a tablet and the drawing tablet is at home most of the time. Pen and paper just gives more flexibility than text. Though I instantly scan them and upload them to my paperless instance.
Writing with a pen is still more intuitive for me than typing, so I automatically grab a piece of paper and jot it down. Especially while talking to someone.
But I do use note taking apps a lot for more permanent things.
