I still use paper to model application modes or write quick snippets of code when I'm stuck on something in particular, like a function. There seems to be some (to me at least) benefit to taking my mind away from the screen and doing the same task on paper that allows me to have some breakthroughs.
I will say however, since I got an iPad Pro, I been using an App called Notebook by Zoho

I have to say, it simulates the paper experience enough with the pencil that I seem to get the same benefit. I really enjoy it and I can still sync my notes across devices and it supports simple text edits checklists inserting photos and links and other cool things. I have to say its pretty darn good and I seem to get the same focus experience using this as I do when I use actual paper.
Maybe its the fact that when you are writing like this its the slowdown effect?
- archagon 10y agoI use an app called GoodNotes for the exact same reason[1], except in an even more analog way: no typed text, checklists, or anything else — just writing and sketching. Bonus: pristine PDF notebooks (covers and all) in my Dropbox once I'm done with my work!
