Love this idea, even though I do use a computer for similar things. For me, the big mistake was "the fancy computer can do so many more fancy things, I should use ALL OF THEM." And over time, I realized the better way was thinking -- "99% of what you're doing on the computer can be done on paper, let me treat it like for the most part, and slowly slowly experiment with the things that look like improvements, knowing that most of them will not stick."
Turns out they are pretty much all just quicker versions of things I would do with paper anyway. Hyperlinks instead of rifling through an index; Quick note adding instead of finding post-it notes, automatic date-fill in instead of looking at the calendar, etc.
