There's work and entertainment, sure, but in 2020 every meeting and most socializing is also mediated. Reality feels like a distant memory. Taking paper notes during video meetings can help bridge the gap between digital and physical worlds, as seen with Zapier employees Chris Dopuch and Sanne Stevens who use paper to take notes and organize tasks digitally afterwards. Dumping brain ideas onto paper can be therapeutic, as experienced by Nick Simard who uses it for brainstorming article ideas. A paper-based task list system allows flexibility and tangibility, appreciated by coworkers like Chris VanderKolk and Hannah Herman. Sticky notes are used as a simple yet effective to-do list system, while some employees create full-blown sticky note kanban boards for organization. Paper offers freedom from digital structure, making it useful for mind mapping, flowcharts, and quick designs, and may help individuals feel more connected to reality.
