Digital Notes VS Handritten Notes
For productivity purpose, the digital evolution of the work environment and tools have brought undeniable advantages and brings together the physical and digital world.
Digital Notes
- Typing out notes improves later recall.
- You might lose all your data
- Use a note taking app
- Record so you never miss anything
- Save time
Handwritten Notes
- The main problem with handwritten notes lays in the use you make of it afterwards.
- Most of the time in business, notes are a mean to transfer an information from a source to another entity, which is time-consuming and less productive.
- Remembering conceptual information over the long term
- Helps memorize information
Therefor, even the best tablet tools can not exactly replicate the feel of pen on paper. If you prefer note taking but want the benefits of digital notes, I recommend a smartpen which are promising connected objects.
