My Return to the Paper Diary
Rediscovering the notebook
I found my old Filofax in a box. A colleague at work recently bought a ReMarkable tablet, which he uses for taking notes. It sparked my old interest in taking notes on paper.
I’ve always had mixed feelings about taking notes on my computer. My current setup is a collection of Markdown files.
There are advantages — I type quickly, I can search, and it’s easy to structure and reorganise things.
But with a notebook, I somehow get a better overview. Flipping back and forth through the pages feels different. I don’t quite know why — there’s just something about it.
Anyway, I’ll give it a try. And give an update on how it went later. I suppose a part of the process is to settle on the right Filofax size, Personal, Pocket or even Mini.
