Is there something wrong with me when I'm the opposite? I can't even read my own handwriting all that well :(

I just write everything in notepad (or vim/emacs) and store the plain text files on my server (and take some backups)




Nope. They're different tools. They do different things.

I find paper keeps me sane in a hyper-multi-tasked distraction heavy over-Slacked world. What made it work was an idea I borrowed from Bullet Journal -- every task needs gets finished, copied to the current timeframe, or deliberately abandoned.

You could easily do this in a text file or notetaking app, I just spend so much time staring at screens that it's refreshing to have a tool that isn't one.


Me too! The speed and efficiency of typing, editing, saving, searching, how can paper compete with that?

Vim just needs a graphics plugin and we're set.


There's DrawIt:

...but really I'd like to figure out a good workflow for dropping screenshots and MyPaint sketches into vimwiki diary entries.
