Heard a guy at the coffee shop say digital planners are 'more practical' and it got me thinking about my own system
He was ranting about how much time he saves on his iPad, but I've been using a physical journal for 3 years and the thought of switching to a screen just feels wrong, has anyone else had that moment where you question your whole setup?

Physical planners have that TACTILE thing nothing can replace. I switched to a bullet journal three years ago and the feeling of pen on paper actually helps me remember stuff better than typing. Tried a digital app for a month last year and my brain just didn't click with it. The key is what keeps you actually USING it, not what seems quicker on paper. Your gut feeling about staying physical is probably right if it's worked for three years. Don't let one guy's rant mess with what clearly works for you.

Wait @luna_jackson28 you tried digital for a whole month? I can barely stick with an app for a week before I give up and grab my notebook again. Three years with a bullet journal is serious commitment - that's not just a habit, that's a lifestyle. If the tactile thing actually helps you remember stuff better, that's proof enough right there. Some people just don't get that not everything needs to be faster or more efficient to work better for you.

Grabbed my old notebook again after trying a tablet for two weeks and honestly it was like coming home. @luna_jackson28 you're totally right about the tactile thing helping with memory, I write down tasks and my brain just locks them in better than tapping a screen. That guy's "practical" might just mean fast, but my analog system stops me from overcomplicating stuff. Stick with what keeps you showing up to plan.
