Paper and digital are friends

Remember paper?

When you write digital notes, you focus on structure and form, not just ideas. You have billion-dollar companies competing for your attention while you try to focus. You risk over-writing and under-thinking.

When you fill a digital calendar, you focus on what you can fit into the day, not just what belongs in the day. You have no visible scribbles nor edits to remind you of miscalculated estimates, setting you up to repeat past mistakes.

Paper plays an important role in digital lives. Human creativity thrives on motion and feel, and paper is better at both of those things.

Maybe incorporate a little more of it into your workflow. Your digital output will thank you for it.
