    Well, for me, it’s not that I don’t write because I can’t, or that I don’t want to; I just work with/on/around computers/devices so much that I usually find paper to be inconvenient.

    Getting a thing signed by e-signature vs having to print, sign, and mail/deliver a document to someone is just a lot easier for me.

    I absolutely can write, and I sometimes find putting pen to paper to be therapeutic, but ultimately I tend to use digital forms of record keeping and note taking, much more than physical copies.

    What I would consider is a writing tablet where I can quickly scribble notes into, similar to writing on paper, that then get transcribed into text by OCR or something… I don’t have the money for that.

      Oh yeah for productive purposes I totally get you. I haaaate paper ending up on my desk. Especially because it always seems to be things in that weird limbo of “Can I throw this away or do I need to keep it for some reason?” and it just starts piling up everywhere.

      I run Paperless NGX on my server now so I can just scan, automatically sort, and shred a majority of mail now lol.

        I should do this too. By and large there’s no reason to keep paper around anymore.

        What do you do for backups?
