Why use digital formats offline:
- editing and reordering text
- attachments
- aesthetics
- accessibility
- hassle/weight optimisation
Aesthetics includes theming, and also not everyone has good handwriting.Accessibility, because not everyone is able to hand-write in the first place.
Weight optimisation, because if a laptop is non-negotiable, going digital means one less thing to remember about and carry with you.
I have multiple physical notebooks/calendars and a digital commonplace book, they all have their place.
