The Analog Aspect
For a long time that was my outlook on everything; all-digital, all-the-time. Over a couple months in the past year, I've begun to realize that some things should stay as purely analog aspects of my life.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I have the "all-digital, all-the-time" mindset. And, I'm a huge fan of lists. It wasn't until recently that I realized the same thing though. Some things should stay analog. Just because something can be digital, doesn't mean it should be. And just because it's digital, doesn't neccessarily mean it's better.
Writing things down in a notebook was something I rarely did. I kept my to-do lists and various other lists on my iPhone. And I still do. But I recently started writing down my to-do list in a notebook. Sure it's reptitive, which was probably one of the main reasons why I never did it. I thought, "how can this be productive?" But writing everything down makes it easier to remember. I also write down half-formulated thoughts, outlines for blog posts, or just ideas floating around in my head. And so far, it seems to be working.
