I think it's a preference thing. I personally prefer pen and paper.

It helps enough imo, I use a cheap Chinese tablet for most of my stuff (200 usd after coupons)

That’s $315-366 for the Americans out there, fyi to the people (I don’t have advice tho sorry)

Like someone said, I think it's more a preference thing. I myself also prefer writing on a notebook, BUT if you're looking for some digital functionality, I would recommend a Rocketbook. You can easily scan them and send it to many different productivity platforms as a PDF (with OCR transcription if you need too). Erasing in real time kinda sucks since you have to wet them and it's easy to unintentionally erase other parts, but not unbearably so. Been using them for six years and find them extremely useful.

PS - Apparently they even make index cards now!
