For literally once a year, it's an inappropriate tool regardless of price — and a basic pen can be around €10.
The ink dries up if the pen isn't used at least semi-regularly.
(I'm surprised someone could write so little. All my software developer colleagues have a notepad and pen or pencil on their desks. I'm sure some only use them a couple of times a week, but that's a long way from once a year.)
- eternityforest 3y agoI write a little more than once a year, because I do lots of live events where you might have a script that needs annotating or something like that, or when you have an in person meeting and want to take notes. If you need zero-latency access to information while looking very present and professional, or you're playing tabletop games where any technology at all is not appropriate for the setting, paper is amazing. I've never really tried using paper just sitting at a desk though, at least not as an adult. I probably should try it, but I really like how going all digital reduces the amount of objects to manage.
