For anything important, I take notes and draw by hand, and I don't print (never learned how to, due to a slightly unusual upbringing, and all previous attempts to learn have ended with a mash of cursive and unjoined lettering since I'm so damned slow at printing), I write in cursive. No tablet, as of yet, has been able to replicate the feel of pencil on paper in a pleasing fashion; nor (and this is the important part) can a filesystem replicate flipping through a notebook of engineering grid paper to get to the topic I want. Also, despite ~20 years of typing practice, for coding and other reasons, my handwriting is still an order of magnitude faster than my typing (I can see how people who only print would have slower handwriting, though, certainly). I don't use shorthand or anything, just if I want to get my thoughts down fast and accompany them with a sketch and/or reference them later, they must be handwritten. I'd never code on paper, however; that's a terrifying thought. I definitely take notes and whatnot if needed on paper or on a whiteboard while coding in a text editor, though. |
