Amen! :) Digital vs. analog shouldn't have to be an exclusive decision. There are things that are easier to do digitally, and things that are easier to do... analog-ly? Digital means are suited to sorting and searching, for example. Analog means will work when the power is out, and tearing off a note to hand to someone is easy. I do think that some sort of conversion is coming -- we will have computer notebooks, instead of notebook computers. Until then, use each method as approptiate for you, because it's your life those methods have to work for. I do web development for a living, so I spend plenty of my time sitting in front of a computer fiddling with databases, e-mail, and similar things. I also use fountain pens (filled from a bottle, of course) and a paper planner. Lifehackery in general is not about establishing the One True Best Method that everyone else must follow, but developing expedients for each situation. » POSTED IN:
