This week’s addict, the founder of the excellent site The Gadgeteer, has been featured once before. She’s addicted to gadgets, but as this photo shows, she’s still addicted to notebooks too! (Even though the post it’s from is about going back to keeping a digital to-do list.)
I have been using a very simple Bullet Journal style of task management for the last 4 years. It has worked out well for me because I can keep a notebook open next to me all day so I am able to see a daily list of what I need to do and I get a natural buzz from checking off tasks each day.
The fact that I’m a pen, notebook, and stationery addict has made using an analog task system easy for me over the past few years. But I’ve recently realized that although I enjoy using a paper notebook, something is missing and I’m not as productive as I could be if I were using a digital To-Do system.
I’ve had the same dilemma, and found that a digital task list was a must at my job. But I always had to have a paper to-do list going too, and that is what I use 99% of the time now.

Well, this was a surprise! Thanks!
I’ll be writing a follow up to that post. Spoiler: I can’t ditch my notebook. I felt lost without it. So I’m working on an analog/digital hybrid system.
