Although I would agree that we have more modern tools, I'm not sure they're better along every dimension: pen and paper is better for memory retention than typing. Also, while YMMV, oen and paper works wonders for brainstorming for me.
Though admittedly search is easier with digital tools.
- directevolve 1y agoFor fast, physically intuitive, flow-of-thought expression, there’s nothing like pen and paper, for me. I throw away almost all my handwritten notes, because of the downsides: illegibility, unsearchability, physical bulk. But the qualitative difference of thinking or reading +/- handwriting is huge. I don’t get caught up in editing. I can draw diagrams easily. It slows me down, makes me dwell on an idea while I’m writing it, and thereby physically calibrates my thought process.
