Iβm all digital. Donβt have to worry about where my notebook is, my tasks and calendar are available through my phone, tablet, computer. And I get reminded on time sensitive things. I can make templates for repeating tasks like my vacation checklist. Iβm reminded on birthdays that are coming up so I have time for presents. I never feel like Iβm forgetting anything. Itβs perfect for how my brain works.

This has been my experience as well. I went through a few years of taking and enjoying paper notes, but at a certain point I realized that without the ability to search my notes, I'm not getting as much value as I could otherwise. That with the addition of digital being more conveniently always with me has led me there.
That being said, there are so many options with apps and systems for digital management that the simplicity of just grabbing a piece of paper and writing still sounds enticing sometimes, haha.
Neither. I just forget things, like a cool person
I keep an extensive, unorganised mass of random notes and thoughts in Obsidian, and also a separate extensive unorganised pile of notes and thoughts in a paper notebook, thus ensuring I don't know where anything is and rendering the whole process futile.
If you forget, it's not important anyway.
Physically writing things helps encode it in my brain, but in all other ways digital records are superior.
Kinda want one of those smart pens.
Yeah, you can have benefits of both by having them. Though they're so expensive.
