This is one of those cases in which I find that I have taken someone else's words too literally.

I read, "Why you should stop using digital notes? Digital notes don’t make you more productive, here is what you should do instead," and I don't think. "This is the author offering one productivity method that worked for him." Instead I think "Why the heck should I stop using digital notes? What's wrong with digital notes?" And reading through the rest of the article, "That's not even what digital notes are for!"

That's me, not catching the nuance.

I am glad that you have found a productivity trick that helps to keep you sane and relaxed, and I hope that it helps other people too.
