It can be much better to write down notes, rather than typing. The reason, is that writing is slow and therefore forces one to analyse and summarize at origin, rather than just blasting it out, almost verbatim by typing.

What price a PC compared to a farmed forest?

#24I've never had much success with digital todo lists, so I've never stoped using pen and paper to schedule what I have to do. On my current system I have a math notebook (A5 format) where I dump everything I have to do on the left (or right) non-writable areas of the page, and then everyday I write what I have to do for the next day on the writable area. I try to add for each day at least one of those items on the lef…
Your migrating tasks remind me of the Autofocus system :

#25It lacks a good undo/redo feature. Unless you scan your work, erase stuff on your computer, and then print it.
I warmly recommend a mechanical pencil with a relatively soft lead and a little eraser on the back. If you write softly with soft lead, erasing is very little effort.
The Frixion line of pens is also useful for this. They might be somewhat limited as to what you can get outside of Japan, but a site like Jet Pens should be able to fix any deficiencies. (Eg: didn't know that they made highlighters with Frixion ink until a recent trip to Japan, where they have these pens literally everywhere)

I've heard horror stories of students using those on an exam, and the teacher leaving the exam in a hot car, which 'erases' the heat sensitive ink.

#30I recently adapted bulletjournaling (from OmniFocus) and absolutely love it. Writing my journal is very relaxing and became a daily ritual of mine. Once a week i escape with my notebook to a cafe (without any tech gadgets) and review my entire system, cut out some tasks that are no longer relevant and plan for the next week. Paper also allowed me to confront imperfections and mistakes more directly. I made a ton of w…
I also use the Bullet Journal "system" and it's really nice and I enjoy writing what I need to do for the day. However, unlike you I haven't really extended it and use only the basics which seems to work fine for me.
