Is it really 2013 and I am pretty much scraping away at dead trees with a piece of metal dipped in ink like a caveman!?

I'm the opposite. I love tech but I have an a4 sized sketchpad and a good pencil I take everywhere with me. I use it for everything from meeting notes to drawings/ideas. I'll use it to demonstrate ideas/concepts to a client or just to hlep me work out something (I'm very visual)

I can't see myself ever parting with it. I love the feel - there's something about using real pencil and paper digital can never replace, and I have a draw full of old notbooks I can look back through which is kind of nice.

As far as search/organisation etc well... a notepad's not so good for that but my drawings tend to be write-only. I use them as a tool to help me think and to clarify ideas.

For me, I don't deal very well with digital to-do lists and such. Pen and paper is king for me.
