[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pen and Paper for me. I've tried OneNote a gazillion times. There's something about physically writing the information down vs typing that helps me recall. I've also tried a tablet. Same. I don't think you'll look old fashioned. I would run my global meetings with a bunch of attendees who are [b]Millennial.[/b] Maybe 1 in 10 used a laptop or tablet, most were journals with pen and paper. Probably depends on your industry though.[/quote] Millenials are in their 40s now. They are not the digital natives you imagine -- they didn't grow up with tablets smart phones. So yeah, they like paper. I'm GenX, but I've been a touch typist since I was 12, and have taken notes on my computer since high school (usually transcribe written notes) I love the idea of pen to paper, and perhaps retention is a little better -- and its invaluable for math, drawings, etc. But for most work related note taking, task capturing, etc nothing beats an electronic record. I type way faster than I can write, the OneNote journal is easily searchable, and copy and paste into more formal documents is a breeze. I actually look at my paper notes maybe once a year. If your workflow allows more contemplative time to look over your notes daily or weekly, maybe thats worthwhile and electronic search is less needed..[/quote]
