seems a lot of people in comments are missing the point. of course there is no search/filter/undo (actually undo exists). It doesn't win in every cateogry. What it does offer is force your brain to work more and therefore create a better mental map. It forces your brain to choose the actual things you can do instead of jotting down 1000 things you'll never look at again.
For example, I've used evernote and a notebook to write down ideas each morning. after few weeks i was a lot more intimately familiar with ideas in my notebook because each page had unique character thanks to how my brain worked that day and the kinds of drawings that were added. It is also super easy to flip through pages to skim over other ideas, and thanks to unique shape of writing often i wouldn't need to read the text to know what that page is about.
it's not a silver bullet and if you need to keep track of a ton of things of course it will get tedious, but I believe most people keep track of more things than they actually are capable of executing. And paper sort of forces you to simplify and focus on fewer things which IMO is a good thing
