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

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

Hell I work harder now then when I got paid for it...but now it's fun and there's no deadlines.

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.

That sounds more like "Pin the tail on the donkey" to me :-\

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.

Ah, you're a mathematician.

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.

Use them a lot as well as yellow stickies all over my monitor - works for me ( apart from remembering to set the CCC ) :laugh:

same here (minus the CCC part). :thumbsup:

I have a (much) younger work colleague who brings her laptop to every meeting and takes notes during the meetings. Trouble is she is one of "those" typists who seem to make more noise than an elephanting elephant! Half the time the noise of her typing drowns out the speaker, and gods help us all if we're using a squawkbox on a dial-in. I'd suggest to her to bring a pad and pen but she's a "clicker" too :mad: Wouldn't mind so much if she actually shared the notes with us :laugh:

My dad had once relayed to me, before his passing, that this was something he had observed as well. I believe 5-6 work mates of his, all died within 16 months of retirement. All of them shared one trait that was interesting - they were not active at all after retirement.

Absolutely! Think about any piece of machinery, if you don't use it it rusts and deteriorates the human body is a machine and needs to be exercised.

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 :)

Moleskine makes the best field notebooks I've ever used. I love the perforated ones, fantastic for leader books.

You forgot to mention the blessed whiteboard: the best place to visualize designs and realize when you're being stupid.
