I can’t read my own handwriting. Some kind of fine motor disorder. I hate paper so fucking much.

Apparently, according to a Japanese study (with an admittedly small sample size), writing on paper beats writing on tablet.

More research is needed, but they suggest writing on paper engages spatial memory in a way a tablet does not.

Was in college around covid, I was the only one taking notes on paper and it was great. Others spent hours copying the PowerPoint on their laptop they had no idea what was the material.
