This week’s post of the week is actually two sides of the divisive discussion: paper or digital note-taking. I’ve waffled around on this issue for years and have come to the conclusion that I prefer paper to digital unless it involves a URL.

I would also say that I prefer hand writing notes compared to digital notes. They say (studies) that the human brain tends to retain more information better if things are hand written compared to typed up. Hence why I hand write most of the time.
