Articles like this worship the act of writing on paper, not the process of iteratively putting down thoughts and shaping them. I use Notion. I also use paper.

Articles like this worship the act of writing on paper, not the process of iteratively putting down thoughts and shaping them. I use Notion. I also use paper. I tried using "fancy writing equipment" that ended up too nice for me to scribble on. Because any momentary idea is garbage and not worthy of this nice acid-free, leather bound notebook. So no I have a stack of very cheap legal notepads that I just put whatever I want on. Sometimes I'll rip the pages out. Sometimes I'll trash them. Eventually the good ideas take shape, and I'll move them to Notion
