As a technology consultant, people I meet raise an eyebrow when they see me walking around with a paper notebook and pen.

By the nature of my work, I encounter an unusually high number of complex technological systems, and managing tasks on some dedicated digital platform seems like the obvious choice.
But pen and paper offer a convenience, availability, and flexibility I haven't found in any digital platform yet.
The notebook and pen go everywhere with me — every new task gets written down, and every completed one gets crossed off.

If you sometimes feel like your tasks are slipping through the cracks, buy yourself a notebook and pen and put them in your bag.
You won't regret it.
