Tried daily logging in a fancy notebook app for 2 months, went back to my $8 dot grid and it's night and day
I tested a popular bullet journal app for 60 days and kept forgetting to open it because typing tasks felt like a chore, but my cheap dot grid notebook from the bookstore down the street gets used every single morning before coffee. The paper one wins because I actually see it sitting on my desk instead of buried behind 14 other apps. What got you to finally stick with one setup over the other?
The forgetting part is less about typing being a chore and more about the notebook being visible while the app is out of sight. I did the same test and the app actually got used more once I put the widget on my home screen. Still went back to paper though, mostly for the drawing.
