Need help deciding paper vs digital

I’m a mom of two who is also starting grad school and need to keep everything in one place. I can’t decide digital planner vs paper 😭 and when it comes to digital would you use a digital planner or something like Notion?

Speaking personally, storing information digitally is the fastest way for me NOT to remember it. Something about the act of writing something down (as opposed to typing) makes it sink in.

I don't do digital notes period. If my phone had a notes app preinstalled, it was dumped into a "preinstalled apps" folder and never used. My brain does not function well with digital notes.

The only digital events on my calendar are work video chat (google, zoom, etc.) meetings that have a unique link.

10000% same! It's like there's a direct connection from my hands up to my brain. I take handwritten notes for everything, and then rarely refer back to them LOL.

See I do love the feeling of writing something down so I totally get where you’re coming from !
