I write down directions on paper. It avoids a situation a guy I know got himself into - his phone died in an unfamiliar area, and he was hopelessly lost without GPS and turn-by-turn directions.

the vast majority of my daily life that requires meaningful input is pen and paper

in part it's because the company I work for is stuck in the dark ages, but also because I know I remember stuff better if I've written it down so it's generally just a good practice to write shit out

Situations where a full-size keyboard isn't available.

Also drawings, diagrams, maps...

Also things I need to know at any time without having to resort on a phone which is dependant on battery life.

Also stuff I hand over to people. Spiral notebook > everything.

In fact, in 2017, pretty much everything aside from communicating with people, and long work documents. Everything else is on paper. Which sometimes makes me wonder if paper could maybe pick up again thanks to some technological advancement. There's so much more I'd like to do with paper, starting with the ability to quickly print/copy stuff on the go.

Taking notes during lecture including watching lectures on the computer.

Drawing diagrams because I cannot into draw.io quickly.
