Your chances of ever going back to those paper notebooks or using them as the springboard for inspired action dwindle.Ī few weeks ago, I traveled from Austin to Tampa for a 2022 business planning retreat with a Women's Entrepreneurs Group. If you keep stacks of paper, you don’t have a centralized spot to access them when you need it from wherever you are. It’s expensive and takes up space, and I’m a vocal advocate of the file-free laptop lifestyle.
There’s no value in having notes on paper if you can’t find them. I’m only opposed to the idea of organizing all that paper. Sometimes paper is the best tool for the job. Now, know that I’m not a paper hater - I love quality paper. This way, I’d have access to my reflections wherever I was. You know, the ones I had sitting on bookshelves and stuffed in filing cabinets for years. When I discovered that I could scan my handwritten notes into Evernote, I had a new project - scanning all my old pen and paper journal entries into Evernote. Realizing I could scan my handwritten notes into Evernote changed everything. I also realized it would be useful to have instant access to all my old paper journals, so I grabbed my scanner out of the closet. The daily journaling exercise in a centralized spot showed me the power of having access to my ideas from any device.
This time though, I used Evernote so I could centralize - and type - my reflection. So in 2016, I figured I just needed to be more consistent and committed to journaling every single day for a year.
