I like pen and paper for meetings because I can take notes while asserting dominance through constant eye contact. I can touch type, but I need to be looking at the screen to achieve the same level of accuracy with which I can blindly write.
Tangential: I also recently switched to paper without lines after 20 years, and it's been quite liberating.

- grimgrin 11mo agowhat you see as "asserting dominance" i show as "giving respect" are these the same things or are we reaching differently w/ the consideration
- andrei_says_ 11mo agoI share the same sentiment. Not sure if it’s productive to see one on ones as a game of domination. In my experience empowered coworkers make a better team and are a better deal for the company. Maybe it was a humorous remark lost to the absence of tone in the written medium.
- Brajeshwar 11mo agoI thought he was being sarcastic with that part. I did chuckle for a moment.
- grimgrin 11mo agogosh dangit, it's easy to re-read with that in mind whoosh right past me head
