I still use digital tools for documenting my projects and keeping track of long-term tasks, but I agree with the author that papers just fucking works for most things. I sketch out designs on paper. I treat as an ephemeral medium.
Lately I’ve taken to jotting down lists of things on my mind on index cards so I can carry those around and refer to them without the distraction of a phone. The nice thing is that space is limited, so I can’t take on too much at a time. Constraints are a good thing.
