Mixing Paper and Digital Note-Taking Systems
Sometimes it can feel like we wished for technology on a monkey’s paw.
We have untold connectivity and conveniences, but we’ve traded a lot of focus and connection to the present. The simple pleasures and feedbacks of writing on paper, for example, are lost if you want the benefits of near-unlimited storage and searchability. Or are they?
In this episode, we’ll talk about our attempts at harnessing the benefits of both the paper and digital worlds, along with:
- The importance of grades vs. extracurriculars
- How to choose a career
Also, having just hit 151 episodes, I’d like to take a moment here to thank that monkey’s paw and its technology for the first generation of Pokémon. Everyone go play Sun and Moon.
Enjoy!
