Analog notebooks, pens, and dry-erase boards often outperform digital tools for personal productivity and time visualization.
Even productivity gurus swear by the cognitive benefits of physically writing things down instead of tapping away on screens. The problem is, most notebooks are designed like it's still 1995, and it shows. You've got bound journals that look sophisticated until you realize you're stuck with whatever page layout the manufacturer decided on. Then there are those chunky spiral-bound planners with rings that dig into your palm while writing and create annoying gaps that make drawing impossible.
