I can barely work and write code without a pen & notebook. It's like a natural extension of a thought process: I draw quick diagrams and take notes to see how ideas are connected, and only then I can start implementing these ideas in code.

I tried taking similar notes in a text file/org-mode, but it didn't work for me because it's not free-flowing and not expressive enough. Probably, an iPad or a tablet with a stylus pen would work just as well, but paper is still easier and cheaper. :)
