I still write drafts on paper sometimes. Pen. Notebook. Scribbles. No Notion. No Al. Just brain to hand. I remember things better when i slow down. Anyone else still doing this or just me?

I generally write drafts on a computer, but I do use paper and pen to make notes. If I think of something, an idea for an article, or something I need to check, I'll just jot it down by hand. There is something to be said for pen on paper. By the time I open some inane notetaking app I will have forgotten the idea. Best to just get it down in ink.

By the time I open Notion or Notes, the idea’s evaporated. Pen and paper wins for speed and sanity every time.

Oh I'm a total weirdo that keeps a paper planner in addition to my work calendar. I need to see things written down in order to remember them. And I love the tactile feeling of writing things down. I still read paper books too.

Same here!

I do a little pen and paper, but mostly computer still. The funny thing is, when I did finally pick up some paper, my hand was killing me! It had been so long since I had done that. And don’t get me started on how long I had to think to spell certain things, either.

Muscle memory: gone

I have to admit I don't, I have gone very digital. I do love a handwritten to do list because the action of writing it makes me remember

I love tech, but handwritten to-do lists are my anchor. They just hit differently for memory

I like to write all of my notes on paper and then eventually I’ll mock them up on my laptop. I find when I physically write it makes things stick better

There is something about the physical act of writing that makes it real

The argument that climate change is not man-made has been disproven by science over and over again, yet many people believe that the global crisis is either not real, not of our making, or both, in part because the news media deliberately chooses not to talk about it because it doesn't sell enough.

"Don't Look Up" is as real as it can be.
