Stopped using paper the day I graduated uni. Digital tools are superior in all aspects for my way of thinking.

Hard to imagine for me. I love the feel of pencil. And the mind feels different.

you'd think so, but there's something you lose in terms of neural pathways, through some weird effect. I find that anything I physically write down sticks much better in my brain.

Except for sketching out ideas and designs for woodworking. Or jotting down any kind of quick idea I have when I am on the road (frequently). Or sketching an idea for a screen print or art design. Or making notes about what groceries to pick up the next time the wife and I head to the grocery store.

Actually, I use paper every day. I might even be going more "all in" on paper since I invested in fountain pens lately and have built a desk just for writing (with said fountain pens). But I'm probably an outlier.

(I do scan in my Field Notes notebooks to digital once I fill one up.)

Except for doing maths, which is painful to input on screens (but beautiful).

I’m writing a Kurt Vonnegut book out by hand in cursive on paper. Digital tools can’t give me the same effects and benefits of doing the same thing.
