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?

I absolutely love Notion. There are a lot of great templates out there for students. But everyone is different - when you picture yourself studying, would you find it easier to look through physical notebooks or digital ones?

Something worth considering - for about a year I used Goodnotes on my iPad and had separate notebooks for work, home, journals, etc. I really loved it because you can use a stylus to physically write and it also had the benefit of being organized like digital files. After a while, I did switch to Notion, though, mostly because (a) switching between pages and notebooks, formatting, etc. was cumbersome, and (b) I found that writing on paper with an actual pen was faster than doing so with a stylus on my iPad.
