And your notes don't suddenly increase the price of your storage.
Digital text notes take up practically no storage space. You'll spend more on new notebooks to write in over a year than digital storage space for the exact same content
I'd rather do that despite the costs. I like the real storage paper requires.
Uh, except for buying more notebooks and writing utensils, which, if your text files are large enough to suddenly increase the price of storage (or even need to pay for text storage), you're going to need a whole lot of.
No, it's more of a subtle, inflationary pressure.
For me, it's the act of writing, the memory it helps solidify, and... being an FP nerd.
Can I take notes on a phone? Sure, but I wouldn't use a personal device for work notes, ever. Between my privacy, customer privacy laws, and separation of concerns. I've no compunctions at all, though, about sharing an A5 notebook between journal, work notes, personal notes, and reminders.
