Under what circumstances are handwritten paper notebooks better than digital devices?

In the combination of paper notes and digital note-taking tools, in order to solve the above two major requirements: avoid digital interference and open a second window for use, under what circumstances would I use paper notes for recording?

1.Prepare cheat sheets for presentations or reports

It is often necessary to make a report during a meeting at work. It was originally possible to use Evernote to make cheat sheets first, and then open the cheat sheet on the mobile phone or tablet to remind you when you report on stage. However, in practice, there will be a lot of "digital interference". For example, it is easy for mobile phones to accidentally press the screen off when they are nervous, and it is easier to get back to the digital note window that has just been opened when they are nervous.

So later, I switched to using paper notes to write down the most important cheat sheet for work or project reports. In this way, the cheat sheet not only reminds me of the key points that I want to talk about when I come to the stage, but also I will pre-plan the best process of the report on the cheat sheet to remind me how to outline the outline, not to make too long and boring.

More often, in large meetings in the company, it may take my turn to make a report. In this case, listening to the advantages and disadvantages of other people's reports, I will definitely have many new ideas immediately or want to modify the order of my own reports. At this time, I will use paper notes to write down the cheat sheet. Bringing this "second window" that will not disconnect or pop out as an assistant when on stage is even more foolproof.

2.When not receiving tasks in front of the computer, especially when the tasks are complicated

Sometimes, when everyone stands and discusses things at the end of the meeting or after the lecture, some "tasks" may be communicated at this time. So how do you remember these tasks?

If this discussion starts to become complicated, for example, when discussing the product design of a certain project, it may focus on five or six small projects at a time. But at this time I can't take out the computer to record, so it's time for my paper notes to come in handy.

In the face of these complex task discussion processes, there may be many to-do items that must be performed, as well as many small details that need to be considered. The recording time is very short and the recording situation is very embarrassing, so only the paper notes that can be taken in shorthand can be best written in the hand.

Paper notes can be regarded as "one of the most important channels for collecting ideas", because it can avoid digital interference, will not be disconnected and downtime, and is the easiest second window to use. The collected information can be simply photographed and transcribed, and finally integrated into the digital knowledge base, which will become an aid for searching, organizing, reorganizing, and extending in the future.
