Re:Ask HN: Do you use paper notebooks? Why and how? by pettycashstash2 on Thursday December 30, 2021 @07:19AM (#29736128)
I too enjoy writing in notebooks. For me I get the sense that it reinforces memory, and I find that I refer to notes rarely, but I stash the notes away on shelf. It’s not organized in any way except chronology, and many subjects sometimes crowd the page, from technical, to dos, phone numbers, shopping lists, etc. If I need to take an action item I snap a picture of the page onto phone and go from there.

Isn't it confirmed by studies that writing notes by hand on paper reinforces learning more and better than others forms of notetaking (e.g. typing)?
