Why I switched back to a paper planner
I tried four productivity apps in three years and stuck with none of them. Then a plain undated notebook stuck for a whole year. Here are three reasons paper won.
- It has no notificationsA notebook never pulls you into email. Opening it is a single-purpose act, and that is exactly the point.
- Writing slows you downRewriting unfinished tasks by hand makes you ask whether they matter. Half of mine quietly disappeared.
- Undated means forgivingMiss a week and there is no wall of blank, guilt-inducing pages. You just start again on the next page.
