> For me, writing by hand means remembering.

When you're writing about a subject or meeting notes, sure. When you're writing a 30-item to do list, your brain will say "Nope, everything is on that notebook, refer to that".

As I noted in my original comment and elsewhere, I'm a heavy pen and paper user. I finish approximately two notebooks a year, plus I do my thinking/research on their dedicated notebooks.

Personal knowledge base and other digital notes are just distillations of these notebooks in a synced/searchable form, and I'm slowly making these public, as I have time.
