Do you use them during your workday? Or are you all digital?

Yes - quick notes of numbers, names. It's easier when on the phone too - I find it hard to hold the phione and type at the same time. And for "quick sketches" the digital equivalent is just too much hassle.

Yup, on my second log book. My 30th Propelling pencil. Much easier to scratch a circuit diagram on dead wood...

Yes, and not just in the office. A paper notepad during meetings (mindmaps mostly), adding notes or comments to any printed material. Outside the office there is a moleskine for notes, and a "dry erase marker" on the toilet to write on the toilet-door. Any door is a whiteboard :)

Yes, to mostly doodle. or when writing down stuff in a format that is more difficult to do on screen
I'd rather be phishing!

Rarely, when taking notes during meetings mostly, for the rest all digital :cool:

Not in my day-to-day work, but when I'm constipated I like to work it out with a pencil.

As you get older it's important to stay active. All the people I know that have retired in front of the boob tube all died within a year.

I use paper for doodles, maths, design, shopping lists, and all manner of other things. (This would have made a good survey question)

- Yes, for deriving maths formulas. - For marking and correcting in my recitation book.

I am surprised by how many of my younger work mates come to meetings, presentations and brainstorming carrying an old style paper notebook. When I was that age, 15-20 years ago, noone wanted to be seen in a meeting room without a portable; that would mark you as pre-cambrium. Nowadays, it is no longer necessary to emphasize your modernness to the same degree. Obviously, everybody has smartphones, with more processing and storage capabilities than the old portable. But they are not as good for jotting down notes (certainly not if you have got big hands!), and not for curves and similar sketches. So the notebook is a nice supplement to the smartphone.
